4-30 WHEEL BEARING MAINTENANCE

Wheel bearing maintenance should be per-
formed at the beginning of every season of use.
Check the wheel bearings periodically for exces-
sive end play. If needed, adjust or replace them
using the following procedure:
4-30.1 Place the frame on blocks or stands
sufficient to lift the tire clear of the ground.
4-30.2 Remove the tire.
4-30.3 Remove the hub cap, cotter pin, slotted
nut and washer.
4-30.4 Remove the hub. Clean and inspect the
bearings and hub cavity. Replace any worn
or defective parts.
4-30.5 Repack the bearings using a high-
quality wheel bearing grease.
4-30.6 Insert the inner bearing into the hub
and install a new seal.
4-30.7 Slide the hub, bearing, and seal onto
the spindle.
4-30.8 Install the outer bearing cone, washer
and slotted nut.
4-30.9 Tighten the slotted nut while rotating the
hub until there is a slight resistance to wheel
rotation. Then, back the slotted nut off one
notch, until the wheel rotates freely without
end play.
4-30.10 Install a new cotter pin and replace the
hub cap.
