3.8 Reinstalling the Bearing Caps
IMPORTANT:
The ARB master shim must be assembled between the stepped
side of the seal housing and the bearing cup.
NOT HAVING THE ARB MASTER SHIM IN PLACE
HERE WILL CAUSE BEARING FAILURE.
Using a soft instrument such as a wooden drift, bend the seal
housing tube outward and away from the position of the bearing
cap. (Fig.13.)
Figure 13.
NOTE : The seal housing tube should lay as low in the seal
housing groove as possible.
Install the bearing caps oriented as they were marked before they
were removed, and tighten the bearing cap bolts. It is not
necessary to torque them down at this time.
Check that some clearance exists between the bearing cap and the
seal housing tube. If not, the bearing cap should be removed and
the tube re-bent for adequate clearance.
Tighten all bearing cap bolts with a torque wrench to the torque
specified in your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
NOTE : Aluminum housings require a smaller torque amount
than a cast iron housing. Make sure you use the
correct torque for your vehicle.
