Step 6. Hub Bearing Adjustment

Before checking bearing adjustment, make sure brakes are fully released and do not drag. Tighten inner adjusting nut to correct specified torque (50-60 Ft. Lbs.) at the same time rotating hub to make sure all bearing surfaces are in contact. Next install tanged nut lock against the inner adjusting nut. Align inner adjusting nut so short tang of nut lock will engage nearest slot on inner adjusting nut. If it is necessary to rotate the adjusting nut to make tang align correctly, rotate the adjusting nut slightly clockwise for barrel roller bearings(up to 1/8"). Install outer locknut and tighten to correct specified torque(175 Ft. Lbs.). Then bend long tang of nut lock over into slot of outer nut. This method of adjusting will result in the proper bearing loading, and wheel should turn freely.

Step 7. Drum Brake Adjustment

For this step all I did was adjusting the star lever in that little slot on the drum brake on the front until I started to feel a slight drag then stopped. The first picture is the star lever that adjusts the brake. The second is the slot on the front of the drum(left side of drum)that you’ll need to use to adjust the star lever.
