Wheels (Rims)
Wheel Inspection
Raise the front/rear wheel off the ground.
Special Tools - Jack: 57001-1238
Jack Attachment: 57001-1608
Spin the wheel lightly, and check for roughness or binding.
If roughness or binding is found, replace the hub bearings.
Inspect the wheel for small cracks, dents, bending, or
warp.
If there is any damage to the wheel, replace the wheel.
Remove the wheel, and support it with the tire by the axle.
Measure the rim runout, axial [A] and radial [B], with a dial
gauge.
If rim runout exceeds the service limit, check the hub bear-
ings.
If the problem is not due to the bearings, replace the
wheel.
Rim Runout (with tire installed)
Standard:
Axial TIR 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) or less
Radial TIR 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) or less
Service Limit:
Axial TIR 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)
Radial TIR 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)
WARNING
Never attempt to repair a damaged wheel. If there
is any damage besides wheel bearings, the wheel
must be replaced to insure safe operational condi-
tion.
Axle Inspection
Remove the front and rear axles.
Visually inspect the front and rear axle for damages.
If the axle is damaged or bent, replace it.
Place the axle in V blocks that are 100 mm (3.94 in.) [A]
apart, and set a dial gauge [B] on the axle at a point
halfway between the blocks. Turn [C] the axle to mea-
sure the runout. The difference between the highest and
lowest dial readings is the amount of runout.
If axle runout exceeds the service limit, replace the axle.
Axle Runout/100 mm (3.94 in.)
Standard: TIR 0.03 mm (0.0012 in.) or less
Service Limit: TIR 0.2 mm (0.01 in.)
