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.
