Figure 20 8. Hub Cap Installation
1. Install the hub cap assembly, making sure the hub cap
gasket is in place (Figure 20).
When installing hub cap, make sure the
hub cap gasket is not bent or damaged.
DO NOT over torque. This can crush
the hub cap gasket and cause a leak.
2. Install the six (6) bolts to secure the hub cap assembly
(Figure 18). Tighten bolts to 12-16 ft.-lbs. (16-21 N•m).
9. Filling Hub With Lubricant (Oil Based)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT mix oil lubricant with grease
lubricant. If your bearing assembly has been
lubricated with grease DO NOT add oil.
Failure to correctly lubricate bearings could
damage bearings which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Remove plug and fill the hub to the FULL mark with
the specified lubricant (oil), through the hole in the
hub cap (Figure 21).
2. Allow the oil to flow through the bearings and level off.
3. Insert the plug into the hole in the hub cap (Figure 22).
IMPORTANT: Axles equipped with a centralized tire inflation
system MUST use a vented hub cap.
