Tie Down Super Lube Hubs - Manual (Page 4)

Removal/Remounting for the Super Lube Hub
Removing the hub for inspection or maintenance should be done in a safe location
away from moving vehicles.
1. Elevate the trailer using the manufacturers instructions. Always use jack stands
or other solid supports. Do not depend on a jack to support the trailer. Block
wheels to keep trailer from rolling.
2. Remove the tire/wheel assembly.
3. Remove the grease cap from the hub by prying around the edge of the cap.
4. Remove the cotter pin if equipped or bend the locking tang washer to the
“free” position.
5. Remove the spindle nut in a counterclockwise direction and remove the
spindle washer.
6. Remove the hub from the spindle. Be careful not to allow bearings to fall out
of the hub.
7. Clean bearing and cup surfaces
8. To re-install, coat bearings with Lucas Oil grease before re-installing.
9. Install bearings and place hub on spindle in reverse order as listed above.
Rotate the hub while applying approximately 50 ft. lbs. of torque to the
spindle nut. This translates into a full hand pressure load with a 12” long
wrench. This “seats” the bearings.
10. Loosen the spindle nut to remove the torque applied. DO NOT ROTATE THE HUB.
11. Tighten the spindle nut until snug, backing off only enough to line up the
cotter pin with the hole in the spindle.
12. Bend the cotter pin into place
13. Replace grease/hub cap. Remove the Super Lube rubber plug.
14.
LOAD HUB WITH LUCAS OIL GREASE USING THE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ADDING OR CHANGING GREASE.
VERY IMPORTANT: RE-CHECK LUG NUTS AFTER 25 MILES OF USE.
