Wheel bearings should be lubricated in accordancewith the vehicle manufacturers recommendations. Theymay either be grease packed or oil lubricated. A 1/4"pipe plug (see fig. 2) is located under the hub cap in theouter axle shaft flange. Oil filled wheel hubs should befilled to the level of this plug when it is in a position on theaxle horizontal centerline. Grease packed bearingsrequire that the section of the wheel hub between thebearing cups be filled to the level of the inner diameter ofthe bearing cups.The outer axle shaft inner bearing should also bepacked with grease, if the hubs are not lubricated withoil. With the outer shaft out for access to the wheelbearings, disconnect the joint from the inner and outerdrive yokes, and push the outer drive yoke from thebearing and seal. The bearing rollers are nowaccessible and may be packed by hand. Do not useanything to apply grease that would cut the seal. If oillubricated, the bearing will receive its supply from thewheel bearing reservoir, and repacking is not required.See Section IV-B and Section VI-D, H and I fordisassembly and reassembly of hubs and outer axleshaft.B.Universal JointsUniversal joints should be lubricated at each chassislubrication (approximately 1,000 mile intervals). Vehiclesoperated with the joints submerged must be lubricated atmore frequent intervals. Apply until seepage is detectedaround each of the rubber cap seals. If all seals do notrelease lubricant, move the cross laterally in all fourdirections, then pull down on the bearing cap oppositethe side that did not release. Apply lubricant until a flowappears.Fig. 2Fig. 3-3-
