inspection/maintenance instructions
Visually inspect wheel halves for cracks,
nicks, corrosion, or other damage. Any
cracks in the wheel half are cause for
replacement of wheel half. Replace any
cracked or excessively corroded parts.
Inspect wheel bearing grease for
contamination and solidification at each
periodic inspection. Inspect wheel half
bearing cup bore for burrs, primer residue,
or foreign matter. Make sure surface is
clean. Inspect snap rings and grease seals
