Start By:
a. remove front wheels
NOTE: There will be a loss of oil when cover (5) is removed.
1. Remove the washers and bolts (3) that hold cover (5) to the wheel spindle housing (2). Remove cover (5). Remove the O-ring seal from the cover (5).
2. Remove bolts (7) that hold retainer (8) to the wheel spindle (1). Remove the retainer (8).
3. Loosen bolt (6).
4. Install tooling (A) under the head of bolt (6) and against the wheel spindle (1). Fasten a hoist to the wheel spindle (1).
5. Tighten the nut on tooling (A) to push the wheel spindle (1) away from the inner bearing.
6. Remove wheel spindle from the wheel spindle housing. The weight of the wheel spindle is 33 Kg (73 lb.).
7. Remove Duo-Cone seals (7) from wheel spindle (1) and the wheel spindle housing (2). Remove tooling (A).
8. Remove spindle housing inner bearing cone.
9. Remove the two bearing cups (8) from the wheel spindle housing.
10. Remove bearing cone (9) from the wheel spindle (1) with tooling (B).
NOTE: The following steps are for installation of the wheel spindles.
11. Heat bearing (9) to a temperature of 135° C (275° F). Install bearing (9) on wheel spindle (1).

See the topic, Duo-Cone Seals, (conventional) before installing any of the Duo-Cone Seals. |
12. Make sure the Duo-Cone seals are clean and dry. Make sure all the metal surfaces that the seals make contact with are clean and dry. Install the Duo-Cone seal (7) in the wheel spindle (1) with tooling (C).
13. Lower the temperature of bearing cups (8). Install the bearing cups in the wheel spindle housing (2).
14. Install Duo-Cone seal (7) in the wheel spindle housing (2) with tooling (C). Put a small amount of oil on the metal surfaces of both seals (7) that make contact with each other.
15. Heat the inner bearing to a maximum temperature of 135° C (275° F). Install the inner bearing on wheel spindle (1). Fasten a hoist to wheel spindle (1). Install wheel spindle (1).
16. Install retainer (8) and bolts (7) that hold the retainer to the wheel spindle. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 130 ± 7 N·m (95 ± 5 lb.ft.).
17. Install a new O-ring seal on cover (5). Put cover (5) in position on the wheel spindle housing (2). Install bolts (3) that hold it.
18. Tighten bolt (6) to a torque of 700 ± 27 N·m (520 ± 20 lb.ft.). Remove plug (4). Fill the wheel spindle housing with oil to its correct level. Install plug (4).
