Installation
1. CAUTION: Do not spin the bearing dry with compressed air.
NOTE: Remove all traces of 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.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base wheel bearing grease such as Motorcraft Premium long-Life Grease XG-1-C or -K or equivalent
meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B. Fill the hub until the grease is flush with the inside diameters of both bearing cups.
3. Pack the bearing cone and roller assemblies 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.
