7. Remove the inner, or rear, bearing, race and seal by inserting a block
of wood into the hub and tapping the block of wood along the rim of
the bearing with a rubber mallet. If the seal is stuck or rusted in the
hub, use a little lubricant, such as WD-40, to help loosen the seal.
8. Clean the grease from bearings, seal(s), races, grease/dust cap, hub
and spindle with a brush and/or rag using a cleaner of your choice.
The cleaner that you use should be suitable for dissolving oil, grease,
and removing dirt from steel, plastic and rubber surfaces.
Note: If you select a water-based cleaner, be sure to dry your
bearings immediately and re-apply grease to prevent any rust.
Some cleaners that are water or oil based may leave slight
residue, refer to the cleaner instructions for proper use.
9. Inspect bearings and seals for any damage or worn components. If
they look suspect, replace them immediately (Outer bearing
replacement #: LM11949/10, Inner Bearing #: LM67049A/10)
10. Coat the spindle and inside of the hub with fresh grease. We
recommend using Lucas Oil Red N' Tacky grease in the hub
assembly.
11. Push and pack fresh grease into the bearings. Work your way from
the wide to narrow side of the bearing, making sure to push the grease
into the rollers, until the cage and rollers are filled.
12. Insert the inner bearing, race and seal back into the back of the hub
and tap into place using a wood block and rubber mallet. Ensure the
inner bearing's tapered edge is facing into the hub.
13. Install the hub and bearings back onto the spindle.
14. Insert the outer bearing and race onto the spindle and into the hub
with the tapered edge of the bearing facing into the hub.
