Installation Procedure

Installing the FAG 713 6110 00 Wheel Bearing Kit requires a systematic approach to ensure optimal performance and safety. The following steps outline the typical procedure for rear wheel hub replacement:

1. Vehicle Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and lift the rear axle using a hydraulic jack. Support with jack stands.
2. Wheel Removal: Remove the wheel and brake assembly to expose the hub.
3. Hub Disassembly: Loosen and remove the hub mounting bolts. Carefully extract the old bearing assembly, noting the orientation of seals and spacers.
4. Cleaning: Clean the hub bore with a solvent to remove debris and old grease.
5. Installation of New Bearing: Place the new bearing into the hub bore, aligning the seals with the mounting surface. Insert the spacer and apply a thin layer of high‑temperature grease.
6. Reassembly: Reinstall the hub onto the axle, tightening bolts to the specified torque sequence.
7. Brake and Wheel Reassembly: Reinstall the brake components, wheel, and fasten all nuts to the correct torque.
8. Final Checks: Verify wheel alignment, perform a brake test, and ensure no abnormal noises.

Maintenance Recommendations

To preserve the integrity of the FAG 713 6110 00 Wheel Bearing Kit, adhere to the following maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Check for excessive play or noise during routine maintenance intervals.
• Proper Greasing: Use the recommended bearing grease at each service interval to maintain lubrication.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the specified load limits, especially when towing or carrying heavy cargo.
• Keep Seals Clean: Prevent contamination by ensuring the wheel hub area remains free of dirt and moisture.
