Assembly
10.Install pulley (hub down), washer, and lock nut to
spindle shaft. Tighten lock nut from 130 to 150 ft−lb (176
to 203 N−m).
IMPORTANT: If new bearings are installed into a
used spindle housing, it may not be necessary to re-
place the original large snap ring. If the original
snap ring is in good condition with no evidence of
damage (e.g. spun bearing), leave the snap ring in
the housing and discard the snap ring that comes
with the new bearings. If the large snap ring is found
to be damaged, replace the snap ring. Replacement
bearings are sold only with a matched spacer ring
and large snap ring (Fig. 9). These parts cannot be
purchased separately.
IMPORTANT: Pneumatic grease guns can produce
air pockets when filling large cavities and therefore,
are not recommended to be used for proper greas-
ing of spindle housings.

fill housing cavity with grease until grease starts to come
out of lower seal.

Using an arbor press, push the bearing cups into the
top and bottom of spindle housing. The top bearing cup
must contact the spacer previously installed, and the
bottom bearing cup must contact the snap ring. Make
sure that the assembly is correct by supporting the first
bearing cup and pressing the second against it (Fig 10).
