Wheel Bearing Adjustment

1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and install safety stands.
2. To check the wheel bearing adjustment, grasp the tire at the sides. Alternately push inward and pull outward on the tire.
3. If any looseness is felt, adjust the wheel bearings as follows.
4. Remove the wheel cover if so equipped. Remove the grease cap from the hub using suitable tool.
5. Wipe the excess grease from the end of the front wheel spindle (3105). Remove the cotter pin and locknut.
6. NOTE: Do not pry on the phenolic piston of the disc brake caliper (2B120). Loosen the adjusting nut three turns. Attempt to obtain running clearance between the rotor brake surface and the linings by rocking the wheel, hub and rotor assembly in and out several times to push the linings away from the rotor, or by light tapping on the housing of the disc brake caliper or some other means that does not damage the rotor lining surfaces.
7. If running clearance cannot be maintained throughout bearing adjustment in Steps 9 and 10, the disc brake caliper must be removed.
8. Tighten the wheel bearing adjusting nut to 23-34 N-m (17-25 lb-ft) while rotating the wheel or brake rotor in the opposite direction.
9. Back the nut off approximately one half turn.
10. Tighten the nut to 2.03-2.26 N-m (18-20 lb-in).
- End play should be .000-.127mm (.000-.005 inch).
- Torque required to rotate the hub should be 1.13-2.82 N-m (10-25 lb-in).
11. Install the retainer and new cotter pin bending both ends of cotter pin in opposite direction around retainer. Install grease cap.
12. Install the disc brake caliper if removed.
13. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
14. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to 135 N-m (100 lb-ft) for F-150 vehicles. All other vehicles, tighten lug nuts to 190 N-m (140 lb-ft).
15. Install the wheel cover, if equipped.
16. Before driving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal (2455) several times to restore normal braking action.

WARNING: AFTER 800 KILOMETERS (500 MILES) OF OPERATION, RETIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS (1012) TO SPECIFICATIONS.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DUAL REAR WHEELS (1007) RETIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE AT 160 KM (100 MILES), AND AGAIN AT 800 KM (500 MILES) OF NEW VEHICLE OPERATION AND AT THE INTERVALS SPECIFIED IN THE SEPARATE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND RECORD LOG.
WARNING: RETIGHTEN AT LUG NUTS 800 KM (500 MILES) AFTER ANY WHEEL CHANGE OR ANY TIME THE LUG NUTS ARE LOOSENED.
WARNING: FAILURE TO RETIGHTEN LUG NUTS AT MILEAGES SPECIFIED COULD CAUSE WHEELS TO COME OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, POSSIBLY CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND COLLISION.
