Figure 3 4. Hubs, Bearings and Seal Removal
NOTE: Before you begin any axle/brake service procedures,
park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. Support the
vehicle and axle(s) with safety stands. DO NOT work
under a vehicle supported only by jacks. Jacks can
slip or fall over. Serious personal injury and damage
to components can result.
Failure to properly support the vehicle and
axles prior to commencing work could
create a crush hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Release trailer brakes and cage spring brakes according
to spring brake manufacturer’s instructions. Remove tire
and wheel assembly to access hub and drum.
2. Remove drum from hub using support device such as a
drum dolly (Figure 3).
Failure to support weight during installation
or removal of brake drum could create a
crush hazard which, if not avoided, could
result in minor to moderate injury.
NOTE: It is necessary to retract brake shoes in accordance
with brake adjuster’s manufacturer manual to
allow brake drum to clear brake shoes during
brake drum removal.
3. Remove the hub cap and gasket by removing six (6)
bolts (Figure 4).
NOTE: Be prepared to collect lubrication fluid when
removing the hub cap.
