BEARING INSPECTION/LUBRICATION Bearing Inspection Wash all grease and oil from the bearing cone using a suitable solvent. Dry the bearing with a clean, lint-free cloth and inspect each roller completely. CAUTION: Never spin the bearing with compressed air. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE BEARING. If any pitting, spalling, or corrosion is present, then the bearing must be replaced.
SEAL INSPECTION/BEARING ADJUSTMENT Seal Inspection and Replacement Whenever the hub is removed, inspect the seal to assure that it is not nicked or torn and is still capable of properly sealing the bearing cavity. If there is any question of condition, replace the seal. Note: If hubs are removed from an axle with the E-Z Lube feature, it is imperative that the seals be replaced BEFORE bearing lubrication.
E-Z LUBE LUBRICATION The procedure is as follows: 1. Remove the rubber plug from the end of the grease cap. 2. Place a standard manual grease gun onto the grease fitting located in the end of the spindle. Make sure the grease gun nozzle is fully engaged on the fitting. 3.
