Wheel Hub & Seal

Remove axle shaft, then remove lock nut, tanged nut lock, adjusting nut and thrust washer from axle housing. Pull hub and drum assembly straight off axle housing. Pry old oil seal from wheel hub, using care not to damage bore surface. Thoroughly clean seal contact area, then pack cavity between seal lips with high melting point wheel bearing lubricant. Position seal in hub bore, then carefully press seal into hub bore using suitable tool (J-22351) until seal is flush with end of hub. Install hub onto axle housing and install axle shaft.
