C. INSTALL THE TIRE CARRIER SPINDLE HOUSING
– MOST JEEP FRAMES WILL
REQUIRE THE USE OF SHIMS BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE SPINDLE
HOUSING FOR PROPER OPERATION
1. Install the Zerk Fitting into the Spindle Housing so that the Zerk is facing DOWN.
2. Temporarily inst
all the spindle mount to the right rear frame rail using the two ½” bolts,
washers, flange nuts and backing plate provided. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY for now,
making sure that everything is snug but still loose enough to adjust the Spindle Housing.
3. Install the Spiral Cut Bronze Bushings into the Spindle Housing at this time. They are
designed to have a slight interference fit. Tapping them in with a block of wood is OK if
necessary, BE SURE THEY ARE SEATED FULLY. NEVER USE A METAL HAMMER.
4. Install a Bronze Washer all the way onto the Tire Carrier Spindle.
5. Insert the Tire Carrier into the Spindle Housing
6. On the bottom of the Spindle install the other Bronze Washer, steel Retention Disc and
use the fine thread 1/2x
1” bolt and washer to firmly attach the Tire Carrier into the
Spindle Housing. There is no need to add grease or to install the O-rings at this time.
