Wheel Hub & Seal

Remove axle shaft, then remove lock nut retainer, lock nut, adjusting nut and thrust washer from axle housing. Pull hub and drum assembly straight off axle housing, using care not to drop bearing inner race and roller assembly. Pry old 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 using suitable tool (J-22354) until seal is flush with edge of hub. Install hub onto axle housing and install axle shaft.
