Axle Plug Installation
• Install the axle plug using the axle plug installation tool. The tubing passes through the center of
the axle plug which is then inserted into the hole on the installation tool. Align the axle plug with
the axle spindle and push leading edge of axle plug into spindle bore.
• Now place the face of the installation tool against the axle plug and using a hammer gently hit the
handle of the installation tool and seat the axle plug flush with the end of the spindle end. Be
careful to drive the axle plug in as straight and even as possible to keep plug from being cocked in
bore. Repeat this step on remaining axle wheel ends. Small amount of wheel end lubricant can
be applied to the rubber to help aid in installing axle plug.
• Using a tubing cutter square the end of the air line coming out of the axle after removing the
masking tape. Leave 5-6” of tubing sticking out of the spindle for easier installation of the Aeris
hubcap. See Figure 14
