Lubrication and Maintenance
1. Raise tire clear of ground and remove wheel.
2. Remove dust cap attachment hardware and remove cap from wheel hub.
3. Remove cotter pin, axle nut and 2" washer.
4. Slide hub from axle spindle, using a hub puller if necessary.
5. Remove bearings and cups from hub and discard. Thoroughly clean and dry wheel hub.
6. Press in new bearing cups with thickest edges facing in.
7. Pack bearing with heavy duty wheel bearing grease, thoroughly forcing grease between roller cone and bearing
cage. Also fill the space between the bearing cups in the hub with grease.
8. Place inner bearing in hub and press in new grease seal with lip pointing towards bearing.
9. Clean axle spindle and install hub.
10. Install outer bearing, 2" washer and slotted hex nut. Tighten slotted hex nut while rotating the hub until there is some
drag. This ensures that all bearing surfaces are in contact. Back off slotted nut to nearest locking slot and install
cotter pin. Check for endplay in bearings.
11. Fill dust cap half full of wheel bearing grease and install on hub with attachment bolts.
12. Install wheel. Refer to “Wheel Servicing” on page 3-17 for procedure.
NOTE: Wheel hubs on Kinze grain carts contain high strength ductile iron material. Replace hub with proper
part.
