Lubricate Wheel End
Before operating the axle, the wheel hub cavities and bear-
ings must be lubricated to prevent failure.
When wheel ends are serviced, follow Spicer’s wheel end lubri -
cation procedure before operating the axle.
Spicer axles may be equipped with either of two wheel end
designs :
•
W heel ends
with an oil fill hole.
•
W heel ends
without an oil fill hole.

2. Rem ove the oil fill plug.
3. Pour 1/2 pint of axle sump lubricant into each hub
through the wheel end fill hole.
