^ Apply a compressive load to the hub/bearing assembly, using a press, vice or long bolt. Ensure that the force that the axle shaft fixing would normally
provide is not exceeded.
^ Measure the hub end-float, using service tool JD 13B dial test indicator (DTI).
^ Using the indicated endfloat dimension, select a suitable adjustable spacer to give the specified pre-load.
Note: See Specifications / Service Data for pre-load specification and typical example.
^ Remove the outer bearing from the hub.
^ Lubricate the bearings as specified.
^ Locate the outer bearing to the hub carrier assembly.
^ Using service tools JD 550 - 4/2, 4/1 and 18G 134, fit new seal to the hub carrier ensuring that it is 'square' and fully seated.
^ Invert the assembly and locate the bearing spacer (noting orientation) and selected adjustable spacer over the hub.
^ Assemble the inner bearing race and locate the inner seal using service tools JD 550 - 4/2, 4/1 and 18G 134, ensuring that the seal is 'square' and fully
seated.
^ Press the ABS rotor into position.
^ Assembly and fitting is the reversal of this procedure taking note of the following:
-
Adhesive should be applied to axle shaft splines over a radial area of 30 to 50%.
-
For the initial setting, position the head of the hub carrier fulcrum to the mark previously made on the wishbone prior to checking and adjusting (if
required) rear wheel toe-in.
-
Renew all bolts that were originally fitted with thread locking adhesive.
-
Replace all locking wire and split pins (cotter pins).
-
Tighten all fixings to the specified torque.
-
Verify operation of brakes.
-
Renew all self locking nuts.
Note: The axle shaft nut is a self-locking item with a thread insert and must NOT be re-used.
