Wheel Bearing (Hub) End Play Adjustment
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove
wheel. Disconnect parking brake cable. Disconnect brake hose and brake tube
brackets from axle assembly. Remove brake caliper-to-spindle bolts. Tie brake
calipers aside. Remove brake disc. See Figure.
Remove end cap from hub. Attach dial indicator to vehicle with sensing tip
against hub surface. See Fig 1.
Move hub in and out (in line with spindle). Observe indicator needle movement.
- If end play is not .004" (.01 mm)
or less, tighten hub nut to 144-188 ft. lbs. (195-255 N.m). If tightening
hub nut to specification does not reduce end play to specification, replace
hub assembly. See WHEEL BEARING
(HUB) ASSEMBLY under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
