- Page 1 Before attempting to make any adjustments or carry out maintenance on the mower, review the hazard identification table (section 3a of your Operator Manual) and take all necessary precautions. The following process shows how to replace the wheel bearing on a Snake mower. Position mower on flat even ground.
- Page 2 Raise mower up off the ground using a jack or crane. Note: Positioning a block under the chassis for safety is recommended. Fully remove all Nuts and the Wheel from the hub. Remove the Bearing Buddy. Note: Some mowers may use a grease cap.
- Page 3 Remove the Split Pin. Remove the Castle Nut. Remove the Washer.
- Page 4 Slide off the full Hub Assembly. Move to a workbench. When fully replacing the Hub and Bearings, skip the following steps around replacing the Bearing Race. Complete Hub (416-860-460)
- Page 5 When only replacing the Bearings and reusing the old Hub, then the Bearing Race should be replaced at the same time. Bearing Kit (416-860-470) Remove the old Bearing Race in the Wheel Hub from both ends. This can be done by knocking the Bearing Race out from the opposite end it is positioned.
- Page 6 Repeat for the Bearing Race in the opposite end of the Hub. If you have a bearing greasing tool, then use this to fully grease the Bearings before assembling the Hub. If you do not have a bearing greasing tool you can still grease the bearings by hand.
- Page 7 Grease the Bearing Race in the Hub. Place the LARGE Tapered Roller Bearing (401-842-830) in the race. Apply another coat of grease to the LARGE Tapered Roller Bearing Position the Seal Insert (416-860-480) Gently tap the Seal Insert into place. See inset.

- Page 9 Fit the Washer (308-200-064) over the Axle thread. Fit the Castle Nut (416-842-200) onto the Axle thread. Torque the Castle Nut to 68Nm WHILE ROTATING THE HUB. IMPORTANT: Do not use an impact gun for this step or bearing/hub damage may occur. Back the Castle Nut off one full turn.
- Page 10 Insert the Split Pin (201-447-000) through the Castle Nut and the hole in the end of the Axle Stub. Bend the Legs of the Split Pin around the Nut. Note: The Short Leg of the Split pin may require trimming with Snips to clear the Washer and Bearing.
- Page 11 Fit the Wheel to the wheel hub. Nip up the Wheel Nuts to secure using the pattern shown. The Tapered ends of the Wheel Nuts face the Wheels. Note: The Wheel Nuts will be torqued once the Chassis is lowered to the ground. Remove the safety block from under the mower.
- Page 12 Torque ALL Wheel Nuts to 110Nm using the pattern shown. This process is now complete.
