FRONT WHEEL BEARING OVERHAUL

|
(Drum Brake)
|
|
|
|
To gain access to the front wheel axle and
bearings, remove the wheel as described in Section
H8. Remove the front brake plate with shoes and
proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
1
|
Unscrew the bearing lock ring (right hand
thread) from the left side of the hub, using Peg
Spanner 063965 Tool, or, if not available a pin
punch and hammer. If the ring is an extremely tight
fit, try tapping from different holes and heat the
hub with a gentle flame.
|
|
2
|
Lift out the felt seal and distance piece.
|
|
3
|
Insert the front wheel axle from the brake side
and drive with a hide mallet. This will drive the
double row bearing further into the hub and at the
same time drive the single row bearing out.
|
|
|
CAUTION: Drive carefully until this bearing just
drops clear, or otherwise the fabricated spacer
will be damaged.
|
|
4
|
Withdraw the axle and reverse to enter it
through the spacer tube still in the hub.
|
|
5
|
Holding the axle central, drive the double row
bearing out, together with the felt retaining
washer, felt seal and outer washer.
|
|
To re-assemble, first pack the bearings with
grease then proceed as follows :
|
|
6
|
Press the single row bearing into position at
the left side of the hub.
|
|
7
|
Fit the distance washer, plain side to the
bearing.
|
|
8
|
Fit the felt seal and locking ring which should
be tightened fully with Peg Spanner 063965 tool.
|
|
9
|
Insert the bearing spacer from the right, small
end first into the hub, ensuring that it is fully
home against the single row bearing. Pack the space
between the bearing spacer and hub with grease.
|
|
10
|
Enter the double row bearing squarely into the
hub, passing the front axle through until it enters
the opposite bearing. Drive the end of the spindle
until the double row bearing comes up against the
distance tube and stops.
