axles using the new nut retainer:
1. After placing the hub, bearings, washers, and spindle nut back on the
axle spindle in reverse order as detailed in the previous section on hub
removal, rotate the hub assembly slowly while tightening the spindle nut
to approximately 50 Ft. Lbs. (12" wrench or pliers with full hand force.)
2. Then loosen the spindle nut to remove the torque. Do not rotate the hub.
3. Finger tighten the nut until just snug, align the retainer to the machined
at on the spindle and press the retainer onto the nut. The retainer
should snap into place. Once in place, the retainer/nut assembly should
be free to move slightly.
4. If the nut is too tight, remove the retainer and back the nut off
approximately one twelfth of a turn and reinstall the retainer. The nut
should now be free to move slightly.
5. Reinstall grease cap.

The procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the rubber plug from the end of the grease cap.
2. Place a standard manual grease gun onto the grease tting located in
the end of the spindle. Make sure the grease gun nozzle is fully engaged
on the tting.
3. While rotating the hub, pump grease slowly into the tting. The old
displaced grease will begin to ow back out the cap around the grease
gun nozzle.
