bottom side of the knuckle
firmly by hand slowly to be
sure axle eye, knuckle and
seal are properly aligned.

a suitable bearing driver to
“TAP” the bearing assembly

kingpin (FIG. 6). Tighten nut
on kingpin to 200 ft. lbs. After
tightening remove bottle jack
from bottom of king pin.
Rotate knuckle back and
