break and wheel seal


 hub and break Assembly
loose scam the snap ring and washer was not installed previous to us.


removing the old wheel seal.

for procedures and specks i tightened down the first hub nut to 200 ft pounds then backed it off one full turn then i torked it to 50 ft pounds and backed it off 1 quarter of a turn. i then installed the washer with the wholes in it then the flange washer after that i had the
 torkwrench set to 250 ft pounds set for the final hub nut which is shown in the picture. I had a finale end ply of .001 to .005 of end play which also meet ASE standards.

heavy duty fork lift axle

This is a picture is of a heavy duty axel from a fork lift in the Bellingham technical college shop. Inside of the axel is a simple concept the breaks are pressure plates that are forced together by hydraulic or break fluid. And the drive train is composed of a differential to axle shafts then to two separate sets of planetary gears for the final gear reduction.
