Rear Hub Rotary-Sliding Resistance Check

REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK

1. Remove the brake caliper assembly, and suspend the brake caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc (Refer to Rear Axle).

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 degree 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, brake caliper assembly and tighten the brake caliper assembly mounting bolts to the specified torque (Refer to Rear Axle).
