3. Install the hub and drum on the spindle with care to
prevent damage or distortion to the wheel seal.
CAUTION: A wheel dolly is recommended during
installation to make sure that the wheel seal is not damaged by the weight of the hub and drum. Never support the hub on the spindle with just the inner bearing and seal. This can damage the seal and cause premature failure.
• Completely fill the hub cavity between the inner and outer bearing races with the same lubricant used in the axle sump.
NOTE: Lubricate only with clean axle lubricant of the same
type used in the axle sump. Do not pack the bearings with grease before installation. Grease will prevent the proper circulation of axle lubricant and may cause wheel seal failure.

Single Drive Axles 3 SERVICE MANUAL - WHEEL ENDS Single Drive Axles Three Piece Dowel-Type Lock Washer System (Fig. 1)
• Install the dowel-type lock washer on the spindle.
NOTE: If the dowel pin and washer are not aligned, remove washer, turn it over and reinstall. If required, loosen the inner nut just enough for alignment.
IMPORTANT: Never tighten the inner nut for alignment.
This can preload the bearing and cause premature failure.
• Install the outer nut on the spindle and tighten to 350 lbs- ft. (475 N•m).
• Verify end-play (see End Play Verification Procedure).
• Go to Step 9.
Three Piece Tang-Type Lock Washer System (Fig. 2 and
4)
• Install the tang-type lock washer on the spindle.
IMPORTANT: Never tighten the inner nut for alignment.
This can preload the bearing and cause premature failure.
• Install the outer nut on the spindle and tighten to 250 lbs- ft. (339 N•m).
• Verify end-play (see End Play Verification Procedure).
• After verifying end play, secure wheel nuts by bending one
of the locking washer tangs over the outer wheel nut and another tang over the inner wheel nut as shown in Fig. 4.
• Go to Step 9.

Four Piece Tang/Dowel-Type Lock Washer System (Fig. 3
and 5)
• First, install the dowel-type lock washer on the spindle.
NOTE: If the dowel pin and washer are not aligned, remove washer, turn it over and reinstall. If required, loosen the inner nut just enough for alignment.
IMPORTANT: Never tighten the inner nut for alignment.
This can preload the bearing and cause premature failure.
• Install the Tang-type lock washer on the spindle.
• Install the outer nut on the spindle and tighten to 250 lbs-ft. (339 N•m).
• Verify end-play (see End Play Verification Procedure).
• After verifying end play, secure outer nut by bending two
opposing (180° apart) tangs of the locking washer over the outer nut as shown in Fig. 5.
9. Install:
• New gasket or sealant at axle shaft flange
• Axle shaft
• Axle flange nuts and tighten to specified torque. See fastener
torque specifications on Torque Chart.
10. Lubricate axle wheel ends (see Wheel End Lubrication
Procedure).

CAUTION: Incorrect orientation of the 90mm ID bearing
may cause oil leakage.
3. Fit Unitised Bearing into the hub by using a press,
(necessary force is between 29 and 43 kN), until bearing faces hub inner diameter shoulder. Keep pressing until reaching 80 kN of axial force. For assembly or dissasembly, press only the outer cone using the proper tool. (See picture and chart).
CAUTION: Never press the inner cone as this could cause
damage to the bearing.
4. Fit the Rotor to the Hub (see below bolt chart).

CAUTION: Do not fit this “O ring” on the spindle with
90mm ID bearing axles because the “O ring” is already included into the bearing.
