This document is an exploded parts diagram of a front wheel hub, spindle, and bearing assembly for a four-wheel-drive vehicle (uploaded as applying to a 1995 Ford Bronco). The illustration shows 22 numbered components in disassembly order, keyed to a legend table. Components include the halfshaft, rolling diaphragm seals (axle and spindle), integral spacer needle bearing seal, caged needle bearing, front wheel spindle, wheel hub grease seal, inner and outer wheel bearings with bearing cups, front disc brake hub and rotor, pin, inner and outer lock nuts, lockwasher, steel/plastic/splined thrust washers, C-ring, hub body, lock ring, cup, and capscrew (locking hub hardware). Three torque callouts are included: (A) while rotating the front disc brake hub and rotor, tighten the inner lock nut to 68 N·m (50 lb-ft) to seat the wheel bearing, then back the nut off 90 degrees (1/4 turn); (B) tighten the outer lock nut to 217-278 N·m (160-205 lb-ft); and (C) tighten the capscrews to 4-6 N·m (35-53 lb-in). The figure carries the reference number E9800-A. A reader can learn the assembly sequence, part names, and wheel bearing adjustment torque procedure for the front hub.
