Installation
1. CAUTION: Do not spin the bearing dry with compressed air.
NOTE: Remove all traces of old lubricant from the bearings, hub and axle spindle. Inspect bearings and bearing cups for pitting, spalling or
unusual wear. If either bearings or bearing cups are worn or damaged, replace both bearings and bearing cups.
NOTE: It is recommended that bearings and bearing cups be replaced in sets. If cups are worn or damaged, install the inner and outer bearing
cups in the hub with an appropriate bearing cup driver tool. Check for proper seating of new bearing cups by trying to insert a 0.38-mm
(0.0015-inch) feeler gauge between the bottom face of the cup and wheel hub seat. You should not be able to insert the feeler gauge.
Remove all burrs, nicks or scratches from the shoulder of the spindle and seal bore in the hub with emery cloth.
