Fig. 7.8. Adjusting the front hub bearing: 1 – lock nut; 2 – steering knuckle journal; 3 – hub cap
2. Using a screwdriver, pry up the cover 3 (Fig. 7.8) of the hub in a circle and remove it.
3. Reinstall the wheel on the three bolts.
4. Tighten the lock nut 1 of the hub until the axial play disappears. In this case, the wheel should be turned. At the service station, a special indicator is used for this operation. The permissible axial play of the hub is 0.01–0.02 mm.
5. Before reinstalling the hub cap, check the amount of high-temperature grease in it. It should be filled approximately to the top edge. The grease used in the 150-gram tube has the catalog number 001 989 2351/10.
6. Press the hub cap back on using a piece of pipe of the appropriate diameter.
7. Install the front wheel and lower the vehicle. Tighten the wheel bolts to 110 N·m.
