now vacant wheel studs.

7.

Always clean the measuring surface 

thoroughly and tighten the central nut on the 

shaft journal.

8.

Place the dial gauge holder on the central 

nut. Place the dial gauge so that the stylus 

abuts the hub.

9.

Screw the spindle into the bridge and fit it to 

the extensions so that the end of the spindle 

fits into the recess of the central nut. Tighten 

the bridge with the nuts.

10. Press the hub firmly on to the axle journal by 

screwing the spindle anti-clockwise, to a 

tightening torque of 40 Nm.

11. Withdraw the hub by screwing the spindle

tightening torque of 15 Nm.

Set the dial gauge to "0".

13. Withdraw the hub by screwing the spindle 

clockwise, to a tightening torque of 15 Nm.

The value on the dial gauge should equal 

that in the technical data. See "Technical 

data".

14. Readjust the wheel bearing play if a 

deviating value is measured.

Adjusting the wheel bearing play
1.

Tighten the hub nut using special tool 

(DAF no. 0694894) to a torque of 100 Nm, 

while turning the hub.

2.

Turn the hub nut anti-clockwise 45

 and 60 

until the dowel pin of the axle nut falls into the 

holes of the circlip. This way the prescribed 

wheel bearing play is achieved.

3.

Fit the circlip and the lock nut. Tighten the 

hub nut to the specified torque using the 

special tool (DAF no. 0694894), see

To prevent skin injury, avoid 

unnecessary contact with the 

drained oil.
