Page 154 Axles equipped with Dexter's E-Z Lube feature can be periodically lubricated without removing the hubs from the axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that have been specially drilled and assembled with grease fittings in their ends. When grease is pumped into the fitting, it is channeled to the inner bearing and then flows back to the outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole.
Page 155 CAUTION Do not mix Lithium, calcium, sodium or barium complex greases due to possible compatibility problems. When changing from one type of grease to another, it is necessary to insure all the old grease has been removed. If your axles are equipped with oil-lubricated hubs, then your lubrication procedure is to periodically fill the hub with high quality hypoid gear oil to the level indicated on the clear plastic oil cap.
Page 157 Product Features • No need to pull the hubs to repack the bearings OR replace the seals when checking the brakes. • Pre-set adjustment means installation is easy and human error is virtually eliminated in bearing adjustment. • Pre-lubricated at the bearing factory providing resistance to contamination. •...
