CHECK
Check the condition of all components, and in
particular of those listed below.
Bearings
Manually rotate inner race (1), making sure it turns
smoothly without any sticking and/or noise.
Also check that there is no axial play.
Replace any bearings showing the above defects.
Grease the balls (or rollers) at the sides of each
bearing (see LUBRICANT CHART).
The operation is unnecessary if the bearings are
of the self-lubricating type.
Axle
Check the pin runout using a dial gauge.
If the runout exceeds the maximum allowed limit,
replace the pin.
Maximum runout: 0.25 mm (0.0098 in)
Lubricate the pin (only the area in contact with the
bearings) see (TABLE OF LUBRICANTS).
Wheel rim
Using a dial gauge, check that the radial and axial
runout of the wheel rim does not exceed the specified
limit.
Excessive runout is usually caused by worn or dam-
aged bearings. If, after replacing the bearings, the
runout still exceeds the prescribed limit, replace the
wheel rim.
Maximum radial and axial runout: 2 mm (0.078 in)
Speedometer drive
Check that it shows no signs of damage and/or
excessive wear.
Tyre
Check the condition of the tyre (TYRES).
