Wheel Hub Bearing
Maintenance
Wheel Bearing maintenance should be performed at the
beginning of every season of use. Check the Wheel
Bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed,
adjust or replace them using the following procedure:
1. Place the Frame on blocks or stands sufficient to lift
the Tire clear of the ground.
2. Remove the Tire.
3. Remove the Hub Cap, Cotter Pin, Slotted Nut and
Washer.
4. Remove the Hub. Clean and inspect the Bearings and
Hub Cavity. Replace any worn or defective parts.
5. Repack the Bearings using a high-quality Wheel
Bearing Grease.
6. Install the inner bearing into the hub and install the
grease seal. Use a driver to install the seal, to avoid
damaging the outer edge of the seal. Drive the seal
squarely into the hub to avoid any seal distortion.
NOTE
The Seal Lip should point away from the Hub to keep
contaminants out and allow grease to pass.
7. Slide the hub, bearing, and seal onto a clean spindle.
8. Install the Outer Bearing Cone, Washer and Slotted
Nut.
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.
10. Install a new Cotter Pin and re-install the Hub Cap.
