Wheel Hub: Testing and Inspection
REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc.
2. Turn the hub a few times to seat the bearing.
3. Wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90° angle with a spring balance. Measure to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is within the limit value.
Limit: 24 N (5.4 pounds)
4. If the rotary-sliding resistance exceeds the limit value, replace the rear hub assembly.
5. After having finished the inspection, install the brake disc, caliper assembly and tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 60 ± 5 Nm (45 ± 3 ft. lbs.)
