Installing Bearing Cups (Typical)
1. If inner or outer bearing cups were removed, install replacement inner and outer bearing cups in the hub with the appropriate bearing cup replacer
tool. Be sure to seat the cups properly in the hub. The cups will be properly seated when they are fully bottomed. Replace grease retainers. Polish
grease retainer journal on spindle with 400 grit sandpaper. Clean with clean cloth.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this operation. If a packer is not available, work as
much lubricant as possible between the rollers and cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure that the seal is fully seated.
4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub centered on the spindle to prevent damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads.
5. Install the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the adjusting nut, and adjust the wheel bearing.
6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap.
7. Install the caliper.
8. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
9. Lower vehicle and torque the lug nuts to specification. Re-install the wheel cover or hub cap.
