Lubrication

10.
All old grease should be com-

pletely cleaned from the bearings and

surrounding surfaces before repacking

them with new grease (C1AZ-

19590-B). The new lithium base grease

is not compatible with sodium base

grease which may have been present

on the bearing surfaces. Pack the

bearing cone and roller assemblies

with wheel bearing grease. A bearing

packer is desirable for this operation.

If a packer is not available, work as

much lubricant as possible between

the rollers and cages. Lubricate the

cone surfaces with grease.

11.
Place the inner bearing cone

and roller assembly in the inner cup,

Apply a light film of grease to the

lip(s) of the grease retainer and install

the new grease retainer with the rev-

erse end of the tool shown in Fig. 6.
Be sure that the retainer is properly

seated.

12.
Adjust the brake shoes as out-

lined in Group 2.

13.
Install the wheel, hub, and

drum assembly on the wheel spindle.

Keep the hub centered on the spindle

to prevent damage to the grease re-

tainer or the spindle threads.

14.
Install the outer bearing cone

and roller assembly and the flat wash-

er on the spindle, then install the ad-

justing nut (Fig. 1).

15.
Adjust the wheel bearings as

outlined in Section 2, and install a

new cotter pin. Bend the ends of the

cotter pin around the castellations of

the nut lock to prevent interference

with the radio static collector in the

grease cap. Install the grease cap.

16.
Install the hub cap or wheel

cover.

DISC BRAKES

1.
Raise the vehicle until the wheel

and tire clear the floor.

2.
Remove the wheel cover or hub

cap from the wheel.

3.
Remove the wheel and tire from

the hub and rotor.

4.
Remove 2 bolts and washers that

attach the caliper to the spindle. Re-

move the caliper from the rotor and

wire it to the underbody to prevent

damage to the brake hose.

5.
Remove the grease cap from the

hub.
Remove the cotter pin, nut lock,

adjusting nut, and flat washer from

the spindle. Remove the outer bearing

cone and roller assembly (Fig. 2).

6. Pull the hub and rotor assembly

off the wheel spindle.

7.
Remove and discard the old

grease retainer and the inner bearing

cone and roller assembly from the

hub.
8. Clean the lubricant off the inner

and outer bearing cups with solvent

and inspect the cups for scratches,

pits,
excessive wear, and other dam-

age.
If the cups are worn or damaged,

remove them with Tool T69L-1102-A

(Fig. 13).

On Lincoln Continental models, re-

move worn or damaged cups with the

tools shown in Fig. 16.

9. Thoroughly clean the inner and

outer bearing cones and rollers with

computer solvent, and dry them

thoroughly. Do not spin the bearings

dry with compressed air.

Inspect the cones and rollers for

wear or damage, and replace them if

necessary. The cone and roller assem-

blies and the bearing cups should be

replaced as a set if damage to either is

encountered.

10.
Thoroughly clean the spindle

and the inside of the hub with solvent

to remove all old lubricant.

Cover the spindle with a clean

cloth, and brush all loose dust and

dirt from the dust shield. To prevent

getting dirt on the spindle carefully re-

move the cloth from the spindle.

11.
If the inner and/or outer bear-

ing cup(s) were removed, install the

replacement cup(s) in the hub with the

tools shown in Fig. 17. Be sure to seat

the cups properly in the hub.

12.
Pack the inside of the hub with

the specified wheel bearing grease.

Add lubricant to the hub only until

the grease is flush with the inside di-

ameter of both bearing cups.

It is important that all old grease

be removed from the wheel bearings

and surrounding surfaces because the

new Lithium base grease C1AZ-

19590-B is not compatible with Sodi-

um base grease which may already be

present on the bearing surfaces.

13.
Pack the bearing cone and roll-

er assemblies with wheel bearing

grease. A bearing packer is desirable

for this operation. If a packer is not

available, work as much lubricant as

possible between the rollers and cages.

Lubricate the cone surfaces with

grease.

14.
Place the inner bearing cone

and roller assembly in the inner cup.

Apply a light film of grease to the lips

of the grease retainer and install the

new grease retainer with the tool

shown in Fig. 18. Be sure the retainer

is properly seated.

15.
Install the hub and rotor as-

sembly on the wheel spindle. Keep the

hub centered on the spindle to prevent

damage to the grease retainer or the

spindle threads.

16.
Install the outer bearing cone

and roller assembly and the flat wash-

er on the spindle, then install the ad-

justing nut.

17.
Adjust the wheel bearings as

outlined in Section 2, and install a

new cotter pin. Bend the ends of the

cotter pin around the castellations of

the nut lock to prevent interference

with the radio static collector in the

grease cap. Install the grease cap.

18.
Install the caliper to the spindle

and torque the attaching bolts to spe-

cifications as detailed in Group 2.

19.
Install the wheel and tire on the

hub.

20.
Install the hub cap or wheel

cover.

21.
Before driving the vehicle,

pump the brake pedal several times to

obtain normal brake lining to rotor

clearance and restore normal brake

pedal travel.
FRONT HUB AND DRUM

ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT

When the hub and drum assembly

is replaced, new bearings and a grease

retainer must be installed in the new

assembly. The new grease retainer

should be soaked in light engine oil at

least 30 minutes before installation.

1.
Raise the vehicle until the wheel

and tire clears the floor. Pry off the

hub cap or wheel cover, and remove

the wheel and tire from the hub and

drum assembly.

2.
Remove the grease cap from the

hub.
Remove the cotter pin, nut lock

adjusting nut, and flat washer from

the spindle. Remove the outer bearing

cone and roller assembly (Fig. 1).

3.
Pull the hub and drum assembly

off the wheel spindle.

4.
Remuve the grease retainer and

the inner bearing cone and roller as-

sembly from the hub with Tool

1175AE.

5.
Remove the protective coating

from the new hub and drum with car-

buretor degreaser.

6. Pack the inside of the hub with

specified wheel bearing grease. Add

lubricant to the hub only until the

grease is flush with the inside diame-

ter of both bearing cups (Fig. 15).

7.
All old grease should be com-

pletely cleaned from the bearings be-

fore repacking them with new grease.

Pack the bearing cone and roller

assemblies with wheel bearing grease.

A bearing packer is desirable for this

operation. If a packer is not available,

work as much lubricant as possible

between the rollers and cages. Lubri-

cate the cone surfaces with grease.
8. Place the inner bearing cone and

roller assembly in the inner cup, and

install the new grease retainer with the

reverse end of the tool shown in Fig.

6. Be sure that the retainer is properly

seated.

9. Adjust the brake shoes as out-

lined in Group 2.

the new hub and drum assembly. In-

stall the wheel hub nuts and tighten

them alternately in order to draw the

wheel evenly against the hub and

drum.

13.
Adjust the wheel bearings as

outlined in Section 2, and install a

new cotter pin. Bend the ends of the

cotter pin around the castellations of

the nut lock to prevent interference
