Standard Drive Assembly
After seating bearing at 200 lbs. ft.
(271 N•m), Pro-Torq spindle nut must be backed off. Fail-
ure to back off the nut will cause the bearing to run hot and
fail prematurely or to be damaged. The final adjustment of
100 lbs. ft. (136 N•m) of adjusting torque with a 1/4 turn
backoff will ensure the necessary 0.001"–0.003" (0.025–
0.076 mm) endplay.
7. Insert the keeper ring into the undercut groove of the
spindle nut as shown.
8. Engage the mating teeth of the keeper and the nut.
9. Compress and insert the keeper arms one at a time
into the undercut groove of the nut.
10. Position the keeper ring as required to align teeth.
11. Do not turn the spindle nut to align teeth.
