Wheel Bearing, Adjust
REAR WHEEL BEARING
Ensure the brakes are completely released and do not drag. Check wheel bearing play by grasping the tire at the top and pulling and pushing back and
forth, or by using a pry bar under the tire. If the wheel bearings are properly adjusted, movement of the brake drum in relation to the brake flange plate
will be barely noticeable and the wheel will turn freely. If the movement is excessive, adjust the bearings as follows:
1. Back off attaching nut until just loose, but not more than one slot of the lock or the axle spindle using wheel bearing nut wrench tool No. J-2222-C,
or equivalent.
2. Align adjusting nut slot with keyway in the axle spindle.
