Wheel Hub (Locking): Service and Repair
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. Advance the nut to the next hole if required. To
ensure proper wheel retention, install adjusting nut locking key in alignment with spindle keyway and insert into locknut holes. The double humped
portion must be completely seated and flush with the locknut assembly.
