axle journal.

5.

Push and pull on the wheel. Read the value 

off the gauge. Compare this reading to the 

specified value. See "Technical data". If the 

reading falls outside the tolerance range, the 

wheel bearing play should be re-adjusted.

6.

Fit the hub cap. Tighten the hub cap to the 

specified torque using the special tool 

(DAF no. 1329498), see "Technical data"'.

Check the wheel bearing play. Check the 

bearings for wear if the wheel bearing play 

remains too large after adjustment.

9.

Fit the hub cap. Tighten the hub cap to the 

specified torque using the special tool 

(DAF no. 1329498), see "Technical data"'.

2.2 CHECKING THE HUB AND WHEEL BEARINGS

1.

Inspect the bearings for damage at the 

following points:

-

the roller bearing race,

-

the bearing cage,

-

the raceways of the inner and outer 

race.

If damage is found, the entire bearing (inner 

race/bearing cage and outer race) should be 

replaced.

2.

If the outer race of the bearing is loose in the 

hub or has turned in the hub, the hub should 

be replaced.

3.

Check the axle journal screw thread, the 

bearing surfaces of the inner bearing races 

and the running surface of the seal for 

damage.
