ASSEMBLY OF FRONT AXLE HUB
(See page FA-6)
1. PACK BEARINGS WITH MP GREASE
(a) Place MP grease in the palm of your hand.
(b) Pack grease into the bearing, continuing until the grease oozes out from the other side.
(c) Do the same around the bearing circumference.
2. COAT INSIDE OF HUB AND CAP WITH MP GREASE
3. INSTALL INNER BEARING AND OIL SEAL
Place inner bearing into the hub. Using SST, drive the oil seal into the hub. Coat the oil seal with MP grease.
SST 09608-30022 (09608-05010, 09550-00050)
4. INSTALL AXLE HUB ON SPINDLE
(a) Place the axle hub on the spindle.
(b) Install the outer bearing and thrust washer.
5. ADJUST PRELOAD
(a) Install and torque the nut.
Torque: 300 kg·cm (22 ft·lb, 29 N·m)
(b) Turn the hub right and left two or three times to allow the bearings to settle.
(c) Loosen the nut so there is 0.5 — 1.0 mm (0.020 — 0.039 in.) play in the hub axial direction.
(d) Using a spring tension gauge, measure the rotation friction force of the oil seal.
(e) Using a socket in your hand, tighten the nut as tight as possible.
(f) Check the preload.
Preload:
In addition to rotation friction force of the oil seal
0 — 1,050 g (0 — 2.3 lb, 0 — 10 N)
