1. Prior to assembly, pack tapered roller bearings 
cones with grease.
2. On the steel axle apply a light coating of lubricant 
to the bearing diameters and the sealing surface 
for the oil seal. Refer to Figure 16183.
3. Press bearing cups into wheel hubs ensuring they 
are fully seated. Place the 1st bearing cone into the 
first bear cup with its rollers facing out towards the 
1st bearing cup. Install oil seal into the counter 
bore of the wheel hub until seated with the lip seal 
side facing out. Install wheel assembly over the 
steer axle. Pack grease into hub cavity.
4. Install bearing cone into the 2nd bearing cup. Add 
flatwasher, tabbed washer and special nut.
5. Torque the special nut to 170 Nm (125 ft lb) while 
rotating or oscillating the wheels a minimum of 
three turns in each directions while torquing. Then 
loosen the adjusting nut until free. Retighten the 
nuts to 34 Nm (25 ft lb) of torque. If the slot in the 
nut and cross hole in the axle are not aligned, fur-
ther tighten the nut until the next slot and cross 
hole are aligned. Insert cotter pin and bend.
