1. Jack the rear end of the mixer and support by side
rails so that mixer is stable.
2. Remove the wheel.
3. Remove the dust cover.
4. Remove the cotter pin from the spindle nut.

of grease to the bearing cup, and install.
10. Tap a new grease seal into place with a clean block.
11. Slide the hub onto the spindle.
12. While rotating the hub slowly, tighten the spindle nut
to approximately 50 lb-ft.
13. Loosen the spindle nut, but DO NOT rotate the hub.
14. Finger tighten the spindle nut until snug.

castellation lines up with the cotter pin hole and insert
the cotter pin.
16. Bend over the cotter pin legs to secure the nut.
17. Tap the dust cover into the hub.
