2. Remove the brake drum.
3. To properly self-install the bearing, rotate the rear wheel hub several times. Wind a strong cord around the wheel mounting bolts, attach a spring dynamometer to the end of the cord and pull it horizontally so that the hub rotates at an angle of 90° (Fig. 14.52). Make sure that the initial torque that must be applied to rotate the hub corresponds to the required one and that the bearing rotates smoothly and without jamming.
Fig. 14.52. Checking the force required to turn the rear wheel hub
The force required to turn the hub: no more than 19 N
3. If the force required to turn the rear wheel hub exceeds the maximum permissible value, tighten the hub mounting nut to a torque of 112 N·m and recheck the force.
4. If the re-measured force exceeds the maximum permissible value, replace the rear wheel hub together with the bearing.
