Tie Down Eliminator Vented Disc Brakes - Manual (Page 5)

Removing Hub/Rotor
1. If your axle has an integral
style rotor, then the hub and
rotor are one piece, and will
come off as one.
2. If you have a cap style rotor,
the rotor will be removed
after the wheel and caliper
are removed. The hub will
come off separate.
3. Elevate the trailer using the
manufacturers instructions.
Always use jack stands for
support. Do not depend on a
jack to support the trailer.
Block wheels to keep trailer
from rolling.
4. Remove the tire/wheel
assembly.
5. Remove the caliper by unscrewing the slider pins from the mounting bracket. Be
careful to hold the caliper in place so that it does not fall and pull on the brake
hose. Support the caliper so that it does not “hang” from the brake line.
6. Remove the grease cap from the hub by prying around the edge of the cap.
7. Bend the locking tang washer to the “free” position. If spindle is equipped with a
cotter key, straighten cotter key to remove.
8. Remove the spindle nut in a counter clockwise direction and remove the
spindle washer.
9. Remove the hub from the spindle. Be careful not to allow bearings to fall out
of the hub.
10. Clean bearing and cup surfaces, repack with lithium marine grade grease.
11. Place hub on spindle in reverse order as listed above. Rotate the hub while
tightening the spindle nut to approximately 50 ft. lbs. This translates into full hand
pressure with a 12” long set of pliers or 12” long wrench.
12. Loosen the spindle nut to remove the torque, do not rotate hub.
13. Finger tighten the spindle nut until snug, backing out only to line up the locking
tang washer.
14. Bend the locking tang tab in place.
15. Replace rotor. Clean threads of slider bolts and mounting bracket and apply a
fresh coating of Loctite® to the pins as well as the mounting bracket. Tighten
pins to 40 ft. lbs. DO NOT REASSEMBLE WITHOUT APPLYING LOCTITE® TO THE
SLIDER PIN THREADS AND THE BACKING PLATE. SLIDER PINS COULD BACK OUT
AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR BRAKES AND TRAILER.
16. Replace cap. Install tire/wheel assembly and tighten wheel nuts to trailer
manufacturer specifications. Test wheel for excessive tightness or excessive play.
Readjust if necessary.
17. Road test vehicle in a safe place before traveling on main roads in traffic.
