Wheel Hub (Locking): Service and Repair
NOTES:
-
To prevent damage to the spindle during removal, remove adjusting nut locking key from spindle keyway under adjusting nut prior to nut removal.

A slight movement of the nut will loosen the locking key so that a magnet can be used for removal.
-
During the front wheel bearing adjustment procedure, align the closest two holes in the wheel bearing adjusting nut with the center of the spindle
keyway slot.
