Spicer Dana LMS Hub Assembly Procedure - Manual (Page 4)

WARNING: Do not attempt to make LMS™ hubs by using LMS™ bearing, spacer and seals in a standard hub.
This may result in a seal or bearing failure, which may result in loss of wheel end and or loss of vehicle control.
04/03 4 of 11 ABIB-0302
CAUTION: The use of improper seal installation tools can distort or damage the seal, cause premature seal failure
and void the warranty.
4. Position seal in hub bore. Tap adapter plate around outer edge to position seal. (see Figure 3)
5. Hit tool handle gently. Because of rubber O.D., some seals install much easier than metal O.D. type seals.
Once the seal bottoms out in the hub, the seal is installed correctly. Check to be sure the seal is not “cocked”
and that unitized seal I.D. and inner bearing turn freely. (see Figure 4)
6. Lubricate I.D. of seal with a light film of clean wheel end lubricant.
7. For drive axle, install the bearing spacer into the hub assembly, large diameter end against the inner bearing
cone.
8. Lubricate the outer bearing cone and install into the outer cup of the hub assembly.
9. Install an approved installation tool to the hub cap mounting surface of the hub assembly with two existing
nuts/studs or bolts. Hand tighten the nuts/bolts until the installation tool presses against the outer bearing
cone. (see Figure 5)
10. The LMS™ Hub assembly is complete and ready for installation on the spindle.
CAUTION: Failure to use all required LMS components will increase wheel endplay and reduce seal performance.
