Knock out both bearing races from opposite sides of the drum.
Wash all parts thoroughly. Replace bearing separators only together with the races. Never leave races in the brake drum, replace only the separators.
Press or carefully hammer new bearing races into the brake drum with the cone facing outward.
Lubricate the new bearing with heat-resistant grease. Press the grease well into the rollers. Lubricate the inside of the brake drum.
Insert the inner bearing and hammer a new seal into the drum from the inside. Wipe off excess grease from the inside of the brake drum.
Install the brake drum/wheel hub.

Insert the outer wheel bearing into the brake drum (well lubricated) and put the brake drum on the axle journal. At the same time, press on the bearing with both thumbs.
Lubricate the outside of the outer bearing and install the spacer washer.
Screw on the adjusting nut and tighten it to a torque of 29 Nm. At the same time, turn the brake drum several times in different directions to seat the bearing.
Loosen the nut again (Fig. 223) so that it can be turned by hand.

Attach a spring balance to the wheel stud as shown in Figure 224. Pull and read the readings at the start of the brake drum rotation. The value determines the friction coefficient of the seal and should be about 0.4 kg.

Fig. 224. Tighten the wheel hub nut with the wrench head, while simultaneously pulling the spring balance.

Tighten the nut by hand, putting the head of the key on and continuing to pull the spring balance. The adjustment is correct if the spring balance reading is between 0.4 and 1.0 kg.
Put on the lock nut and insert a new cotter pin. If it does not fit, tighten the nut slightly.
Place a small amount of grease into the cap and carefully press it onto the brake drum.
