When rotating the cross-ply tyres, introduce the spare wheel

tyre into the rotation if its wear does not differ from wear of the

other tyres (Fig. 53).

When rotating the radial-ply tyres, rotate the front and rear

wheel tyres separate for each side. Do not introduce the spare

wheel tyre.

Wheel Hubs

The hubs of all the automobile wheels are the same.

Maintenance of the wheel hubs consists in checking the

wheel hub bearings for tightening and, if required, in their

adjusting, in checking the fasteners of the axle shaft flanges and

hub driving flanges.

Rock a jacked-up wheel to detect play in bearings.

Pay special attention to correct adjustment of the wheel hub

bearing on a new automobile.

Change grease in compliance with Lubrication Table. For

changing grease, remove the hub from the spindle, remove old

grease and thoroughly wash the bearings and lubricate them.

Apply 10-15 mm grease between the bearings. Do not apply too

much grease to the hubs to avoid its ingressing in the wheel

brakes.

Adjust the wheel hub bearings in the following sequence:

1. Jack up the wheel whose bearings are to be adjusted.

2. Take out the rear axle axle shaft 5 (Fig. 54) or remove the

hub driving flange and the front axle wheel disengaging

coupling.

3. Unbend the tab of the locking washer 7, turn off the

locknut 6 and remove the locking washer.

4. Back off the bearing adjusting nut 1/6 to 1/3 turn (1-2

flats).
