WHEEL OVERHAUL

EARINGS
Before checking the dimensions, it is necessary to check
for the wear condition of the wheel hub bearings; this test
must be carried out manually with the bearing fitted in its
seat.
•
Turn the inner ring in both directions: this must be
capable of turning softly and silently, without
interference.
•
Push the inner ring outwards, continually changing
position, to check if there is backlash.
•
Remove and replace the bearings which do not turn
softly and silently or which feature a backlash.
IMPORTANT
Excessive wear may be due to vehicle vibrations
and instability.
•
To remove the bearing, use a hammer and a spindle
to exert pressure on the inner ring until the bearing is
extracted;
•
Continually move the pressure point in order to extract
the part as linearly as possible.
IMPORTANT
Removed bearings must not be refitted.
•
When new bearings are fitted, check that the seats
show no signs of denting or scratching.
•
Lubricate the seat before refitting the bearing, then
push it in its seat.
•
Use a tubular punch to exert pressure only on the
external bearing ring, until it is completely inserted.
N.B.
After every operation on the wheel, it is
advisable to balance it.

HEEL SPINDLE
Check the extent of the wheel spindle distorsion :
Turn the spindle on a checking plane and check the
maximum distorsion value using a feeler gauge;
•
Operating limit over 100 mm: 0,2 mm.
