Steering Axle Assembly Repair
CLEAN WARNING Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic and can cause skin irritation. When using cleaning solvents, always follow the solvent manufacturer’s recommended safety procedures.
WARNING Compressed air is used for cleaning or drying purposes, or for clearing restrictions. Wear protective clothing (goggles/shield, gloves, etc.) to avoid injury to personnel. 1. Clean bearings by placing them in a wire basket and immersing in a container of fresh solvent. Agitate the bearings in the solvent to remove all traces of old lubricant. 2. After cleaning the bearings, dry them with clean compressed air. Take care to prevent spinning the bearings when using a compressed air jet. 3. Immediately wrap bearings in a lint-free cloth to protect them from dust and other foreign matter.
INSPECT 1. Inspect for loose, burned, missing, cracked or damaged hardware. 2. Inspect all parts for dents, holes, bends, burrs, rust, corrosion or marred finish. NOTE: If the spindle, bearings or tie rods need to be repaired, go to Spindles, Bearings, and Tie Rods Repair.
