NOTE: Some vehicle configurations do
not have a removable hub. The
hub is an integral part of the rear
axle. See the illustrations to the
right to identify the hub on your
vehicle.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove
the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.

splines could contaminate the
braking surfaces resulting in
loss of braking power. This
could lead to severe bodily
injury and/or property
damage.
