-
Replace outer oil seal track (1) on hub shaft.
-
Press outer bearing cone (2) into position on hub shaft and grease bearing with 70 cc of Retinax "A"
-
Press outer and inner cups of bearings (3) into hub carrier. using tool JD 20A with adaptor JD 20A-1.
-
Drift new outer oil seal (4) into position in hub carrier and lower carrier on to hub shaft and outer bearing.
-
Place inner bearing (5) into position for fitting.
-
Place master spacer JD 15 (6) in position as shown and press bearing on to hub shaft.
-
Transfer hub and carrier assembly to vice, set up dial gauge (1) and spacer (2) JD 15 as shown and measure end-float, lifting carrier by using two
screwdrivers (3) as levers.
-
Select spacer to be fitted on drive shaft.
NOTE:Master spacer has a diameter of length "A" equivalent to a spacer of 3.81 mm (0.15 in). Calculate the spacer required to give end-float of
0.025 to 0.076 mm (0.001 to 0.003 in) Spacers are supplied in thicknesses of 2.77 mm - 3.84 mm (0.109 to 0.151 in) in steps of 0.076 mm
(0.003 in) and are lettered A to R (less letters I, N and 0).
For example, assume end-float to be 0.66 mm (0.026 in). Subtract required nominal end-float of 0.050 mm (0.002 in) from measured end-float giving
0.61 mm (0.024 in). Since special collar is 3.81 mm (0.150 in) thick, the thickness of the spacer to be fitted will be 3.8 mm - 0.61 mm. i.e. 3.20 mm
(0.126 in). The nearest spacer is 3.23 mm (0.127 in) So letter G spacer should be fitted in place of special collar.
-
Remove adaptor and fit new inner bearing seal to hub carrier.
-
Fit fulcrum shaft bearing cups to hub carrier and insert one bearing.
-
Secure fulcrum shaft vertically in suitably protected jaws of vice and slide bearing in hub carrier over shaft.
-
Replace distance tubes and shims as removed in dismantling. adding 0.25 mm (0.010 in) extra shims. (One extra 0.076 mm 10.003 in) shim and
one extra 0.178 mm (0.007 in) shim.
-
Fit second bearing over fulcrum shaft. remove hub assembly from vice and replace oil seal tracks outside bearings.
