WHEELS TIRE 8 11 Hub Bearing Inspection and Lubrication Since the wheel bearings are made to extremely close tolerances the clearance cannot normally be measured For front hub bearing turn each bearing back and forth while checking for roughness or binding If roughness or binding is found replace the bearing For rear hub bearing wash the bearing with a high flash point solvent dry it do not spin it while it is dry and oil it Spin it by hand to check its con dition If it is noisy does not spin smoothly or has any rough spots it must be replaced If the bearing is to be used again rewash it with a quality high flash point solvent Dry it and pack it with good bearing grease turning it by hand a few times to make sure the grease is distributed uni formly inside the bearing and wipe the old grease out of the hub before bearing installation Clean and grease the wheel bearings in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart Meter Gear Housing Meter Gear Housing Disassembly Remove the front wheel see wheel Pull the meter gear housing and collar off the front wheel Pull out the grease seal using a hook Meter Gear Housing NOTE oSince the bearings on the rear wheel hub are packed with grease and shielded they are not be lubricated 1 Meter Gear Housing 3 Grease Seal 2 Pin Pull out the meter gear If the meter cable bushing or meter pinion needs to be removed first drill the housing through the pin using a 1 0 to 1 5 mm drill bit Drill the housing from the under side using a 3 0 to 3 5 mm drill bit Using a suitable tool tap out the pin and then pull out the meter cable bushing pinion and washers NOTE A Grease o It is recommended that assembly be replaced rather than attempting to repair the components Examine the bearing seal for tears or leakage If the seal is torn or is leaking replace the bearing Grease Seal Inspection and Lubrication If the grease seals are examined without removing the seals themselves look for discoloration indicating the rubber has deteriorated hardening damage to the internal ribbing or other damage If the seal or internal ribbing has hardened the clearance between the seal and the axle sleeve will not be taken up which will allow dirt and moisture to enter and reach the bear ing If in doubt as to its condition and whenever a seal is removed for greasing the bearing the seal should be replaced The seals are generally damaged upon removal Meter Gear Housing Assembly Notes Assembly is the reverse of disassembly After inserting a new pin stake the housing hole to secure the pin in place Replace the grease seal with a new one Apply a little grease to the seal Install it using a press or a suitable driver so that the face of the seal is level with the surface of the housing Regrease the meter gear Install the meter gear housing so that it fits in the meter gear drive notches
