   Commercially available devices/tools 

   Screw press

   Soft face hammer

   Heating oven

   Pre-assembly of wheel hub (36) 

2. Position thrust plate (30) on wheel hub (36).

   Align chamfer with outside edge.

3. Place wheel hub (36) on a surface to allow the tapered roller bearing (31) to be pressed on.

   The wheel studs must move freely.

4. Remove bearing shell (31 a) of tapered roller bearing (31), position bearing cage on wheel hub (36) and press onto wheel hub (36) as far as the stop using drift.
5. Position bearing shell (31a) on tapered roller bearing (31) again.
6. Fit thrust plate (2) on wheel hub (36).

   Align the chamfer of the thrust plate (2) to the outside.
