5. Complete Reassembly.
A. Install gaskets and steering knuckle caps at top and bottom of steering knuckle bosses. Install capscrews and
lockwashers and tighten to specified torque.
B. Install steering arm and ball assembly into upper steering knuckle boss and tighten steering knuckle nut to
specified torque.
C. Install cross tube arm to lower steering knuckle boss and tighten cross tube arm nut to specified torque.
D. Assemble cross tube assembly and cross tube arm, and tighten tie-rod end nut to correct torque.
E. Install wheel and hub assembly in reverse order of disassembly.
NOTE
IF BRAKES REQUIRE SERVICE, REFER TO ROCKWELL-STANDARD'S FIELD MAINTENANCE
MANUAL NO. 4 FOR CAM BRAKES, OR FIELD MAINTENANCE MANUAL NO. 4R FOR
STOPMASTER BRAKES.
F. Refer to Rockwell-Standard's Field Maintenance Manual No. 2 for proper Wheel bearing adjustment.
LUBRICATION.
Vehicle must be removed from blocks and jacks for knuckle pin lubrication to assure purging of grease. Force grease
through the top and bottom lube fittings until grease purges through the shim gap when greasing the top and through the
thrust bearing seal lip when greasing the bottom.
It is not necessary to exceed 4,000 psi pump pressure. However, our experience indicates that the base distribution of
new lubricant and the best purging of old lubricant is obtained when approximately 4,000 psi pressure is applied at the
grease gun nozzle. Thus, using a 40 to 1 booster, air should be limited to 100 psi; using a 50 to 1 booster, air should be
limited to 80 psi. Higher pressures are not recommended.
The particular grease used should meet Rockwell-Standard Specification 0-617-A or optional 0-617-B in Rockwell-
Standard's Field Maintenance Manual No. 1, Lubrication". Recommended lube intervals for the sealed knuckle pin is
24,000 miles.
