Front Wheel Bearing Adjustment EA-EB Falcon
It has come to our attention that the bearing adjustment on the above mentioned model (relating to part No. DBA 110 A/B) is critical to the long term performance and operation of the disc rotor. It is suggested that you follow the Ford manual instructions for best results.The front wheel bearing should be adjusted if the hub is too loose on the spindle or if the wheel does not rotate freely.
The following procedure will bring the bearing adjustment to manufacturer's specification.
- Remove the wheel where necessary.
- Remove the hub dust cap.
- Remove the split pin and nut retainer.
- Loosen the bearing adjusting nut 3 turns. Then, rock the wheel/hub and disc in and out several times to relieve the brake pads from the disc.
- While rotating the wheel/hub torque the adjusting nut to 30 Nm to seat the bearings.
- Loosen the adjusting nut half a turn then re-tighten to 1.5 Nm.
- Selectively position the nut retainer on the adjusting nut so that a set of slots lines up with the hole on the spindle.
- Lock the adjusting nut and retainer with a new split pin.
- Check the wheel/hub rotation. If the bearings rotate properly, install the hub dust cap. Install the wheel where necessary. If the bearings are rough or noisy in operation clean and replace the bearing assemblies as required.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Before driving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to obtain normal brake lining to disc clearance and restore normal brake pedal travel.
