WHEELS/TIRES 10-11
Wheels (Rims)
Wheel Inspection
•
Raise the front/rear wheel off the ground.
Special Tools - Jack: 57001-1238
Jack Attachment: 57001-1608
Attachment Jack: 57001-1252
•
Spin the wheel lightly, and check for roughness or binding.
If roughness or binding is found, replace the hub bearings
(see Hub Bearing Removal/Installation).
•
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 (see Hub Bearing Inspection).
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
Damaged wheel parts may fail and cause an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury or death. Never at-
tempt to repair a damaged wheel part. If the wheel
part is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one.
Axle Inspection
•
Remove the front an
d rear axles (see Front/Rear Wheel
Removal).
•
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 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) or less
Service Limit: TIR 0.2 mm (0.008 in.)
