Instructions
Easy-to-use instructions:
- After bearing adjustment and jam nut torque procedures have been completed, place the dial indicator on the hub with the indicator needle touching the end of the axle. The magnets on the base of the legs will grip the hub firmly.
- With equal pressure on both sides of the wheel, push the wheel inboard as far as it will go.
- Set the dial indicator at “0.”
- Pull the wheel out as far as it will go.
- The dial indicator shows the amount of bearing end play. Acceptable end-play is 0.001″ and 0.005″ but Amsted Seals recommends .001″ to .003″ to maximize the life of the system.
