Drawing Requirements:

a) Figure A.- Exploded parts of a Front Wheel Bearing Assembly. Label the parts.

Data and Results : ( if any)

Questions: ( Answers)

1. What is the importance of adjusting the bearing pre load.?

This is important because the degree of internal clearance within a bearing can influence noise, vibration, heat build-up and
fatigue life.
Procedures On how to Adjust Bearing Clearance.

Preload Adjustment
After wheel bearing has been replaced or front axle has been re assembled, adjust wheel bearing
preload.

1. Thoroughly clean all parts to prevent dirt entry before adjustment.

2. Apply recommended multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:

 Threaded portion of the spindle

 Contact surface between lock washer and outer wheel bearing.
 Hub cap and O-ring
 Grease seal lip.

3.Tighten wheel bearing lock nut with proper torque based on manufacturer ‘s
Specifications.

5. Again tighten wheel bearing lock nut.

6. Turn back wheel bearing lock nut within 60 degrees.

7. Install adjusting cap and new cotter pin.

8. Measure wheel bearing preload and axial play.

Repeat above procedures until correct starting torque is obtained.

9. Spread cotter pin.

10. Install hub cap with new O-ring.
