7. Remove the bearing cones from both sides of the
wheel hub. Clean the bearings in solvent. Make sure the
bearings are in good operating condition. Clean the in-
side of the wheel hub. Check the bearing cups for wear,
pitting or other damage. Replace worn or damaged

ings. Then, loosen the nut until the hub has endplay.
10.Again, while rotating the wheel hub by hand, torque
the jam nut from 15 to 20 in-lb (1.7 to 2.3 N- -m). After
tightening, make sure that the wheel hub does not have
