REAR RETAINER/BEARING/ SEAL/SLINGER/
BOOT
Inspect the retainer components (Fig. 84). Replace
the bearing if rough or noisy. Check the retainer for
cracks or wear in the bearing bore. Clean the
retainer sealing surfaces with a scraper and 3M all
purpose cleaner. This will ensure proper adhesion of
the sealer during reassembly.
Replace the slinger and seal outright; do not reuse
either part.
Inspect the retaining rings and washers. Replace
any part if distorted, bent, or broken. Reuse is not
recommended. Also replace the boot if cut or torn.
Replace the boot band clamps, do not reuse them.
