Proceed to either Spindle Preparation/Inspection And Seal Installation or Spindle Replacement, based on the vehicle being repaired, in this
Attachment III.
SPINDLE PREPARATION/INSPECTION AND SEAL INSTALLATION - REAR DRUM BRAKE EQUIPPED VEHICLES ONLY
1.
CAUTION: The spindle is manufactured without a chamfer on the leading edge of the seal land, thus leaving a square, sharp corner. This corner
must be removed, using the supplied emery cloth prior to seal installation, or damage to the seal will result.
NOTE:
Cutting a chamfer into the leading edge is not required. Using the emery cloth to remove the sharp corner from the leading edge ensures the
seal can be installed undamaged.
CAUTION:
The seal land must be sanded with the supplied emery cloth to remove any burrs and as much corrosion as possible.
^
If the spindle is not pitted or corroded, the leading edge of the seal land must still be sanded or seal damage will result.
^
If the spindle is excessively pitted or corroded, even after sanding, it must be replaced.
NOTE:
It is expected that a very small percentage (less than 3%) of spindles will require replacement due to corrosion/pitting concerns.
Using the supplied 320 grit emery cloth, sand the spindle as described above. Remove any corrosion or burrs found on the wheel spindle. See
Figure 6.
2.
CAUTION: The double-lip water seal is prelubricated. Do not apply any lubrication to the double-lip water seal or the spindle before, during or
after installation. Added lubrication may cause the double-lip water seal to unseat during vehicle operation.
NOTE:
The double-lip water seal is oriented in the protective cap correctly for installation.
Do not separate the double-lip water seal and cap until the seal is installed onto the wheel spindle.
