Order of execution
1. Install front wheel chocks.
2. Raise and support the rear of the vehicle.
3. Knock off the protective cap of the hub nut with a hammer with a rubber tip.
4. Remove the cotter pin and remove the hub nut retainer.
5. Tighten the hub nut until it stops while turning the wheel to self-align the hub bearings. Then slightly loosen the nut until the washer can be moved with a screwdriver by hand. In this case, it is unacceptable to use a screwdriver as a lever, relying on it on the shoulder of the hub.
6. Install retainer and pin. To match the hole in the trunnion for the cotter pin and the slot in the retainer, the hub nut only needs to be tightened.
7. Fill the hub nut guard with grease to two-thirds of its capacity and press it into place using a suitable drift. Wrinkled and cracked protective caps must be replaced (to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the hub).
