CHECK

CAUTION
Check the condition of all components and in
particular of those listed below.
Bearings
Manually rotate inner race (1), making sure it turns
smoothly without any sticking and/or noise.
Check that there is no axial play.
Replace any bearings showing the above defects.
CAUTION
Lubricate the balls (or rollers) on the side of each
bearing, see (TABLE OF LUBRICANTS).
Lubrication is not necessary if the bearing is of
the self-lubricating type.
Axle
Refer to the ENGINE WORKSHOP MANUAL no.1063
, no.1064 , no.1065
and no.1068 .
Wheel rim
Using a dial gauge, check that the radial and axial
runout of the wheel rim does not exceed the specified
limit.
Excessive runout is usually caused by worn or dam-
aged bearings. If, after replacing the bearings, the
runout still exceeds the prescribed limit, replace the
wheel rim.
Maximum radial and axial runout: 2 mm (0.078 in)
Tyre
Check the condition of the tyre (TYRES).
