HUBS AND SPINDLES

Check hubs weekly for bearing play and condition of seal.

Greasing and Installation

It is recommended that hubs are dismantled, cleaned and repacked every year. Use the diagram and following
instructions for maintaining the wheel hubs. Whenever a worn or damaged seal is replaced the bearing
assembly should be cleaned and repacked with a good grade of wheel grease.
Always wear protective gloves when handling grease.
1. Using a grease packer, pack both roller bearings with a good grade of wheel grease. The bearings
should be thoroughly coated with grease. Spread grease on the outside of the bearing with your gloved
finger. Ensure that no dirt or filings contact the grease or the bearings.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with grease. Grease needs to cover complete surface area inside hub but
does not need to fill cavity.
3. Smear grease on both races.
4. Install the large bearing into the back of the hub and rotate the bearing several times.
5. Install the dust/grease seal using the right size seal driver. Spread a film of grease on the dust seal
rubber and on the axle where the seal fits.
6. Position the hub on the axle and firmly push into place then pull hub towards you about 1". Slowly
rotate hub while gently pushing the hub back onto the axle.
7. Check dust seal to ensure seal rubber is positioned correctly.
8. Install the small or outer bearing.
9. Install the axle washer and castle nut on the axle.
