Service Overview
Commercial wheel-ends carry tons on two bearings and a film of lubricant. Scheduled hub service — inspection, repack or re-oil, and precise adjustment — is what prevents catastrophic wheel-end failure.
Service involves hub disassembly, bearing and race inspection, repack (grease) or refill (oil-bath) with correct lubricant, new seal, and adjustment verified by dial indicator to TMC standards.

Consequences of Ignoring It
- Wheel-end fire from a run-dry bearing

Recommended Service Interval
