CAUTION:Do not drop ball bearing, race, spring retainer or spring during disassembly.

Remove rubber sealing ring. Remove seal bridge retainer (small metal stamping) from spring retainer ring space. Detach lock ring retainer by closing ends with needle-nose pliers while pulling locking hub body assembly from wheel hub.
If wheel hub and spindle are to be removed, detach "C" washer from stub shaft groove. Remove splined spacer from shaft. Remove wheel bearing lock nuts and lock washer. Disassemble, clean and inspect locking hub assembly components.

Inspection
Wash locking hub cap bearing, race and retainer in clean solvent, then inspect for excessive wear or damage. Replace components as needed. Thoroughly blow dry parts with compressed air. Do not spin bearings with air or damage can result. Repack bearing with lithium grease, then properly position bearing assembly in race. See Fig. 13.

Installation
To install locking hub components, first assemble 1 of 2 brake band tangs on each side of outer cage (plastic), which is located in window of inner cage (steel). It is necessary to **** these parts to engage tangs in this position as the drag sleeve is positioned against cam follower face. Install washer and snap ring.
If removed, install wheel bearing inner adjusting nut and lock washer. Tighten outer lock nut to 150 ft. Lbs. (203 N.M). Install splined spacer and "C" washer onto axle shaft.
NOTE:Remove excess grease from hub lock and hub splines before installation.

Start locking hub assembly into hub. Ensure large tangs are lined up with lock washer and outside diameter and inside diameter splines are in line with hub and axle shaft splines.
Install retainer ring by closing ring ends with needle-nose pliers and, at the same time, push locking hub assembly into hub. Install seal bridge retainer (narrow end first).
Install rubber seal over locking hub. Install locking hub cap assembly. Ensure ball bearing, race, spring and retainer are in proper position. Tighten Torx-R bit screws to 40-50 INCH lbs. (4.5-5.6 N.M) following tightening sequence (tighten 1, skip 1, etc.) Until complete.
