Ok 1/4 up the spindle. Those are drawings to me and not to scale.http://search.aol.com/aol/search?enabled_terms=&s_it=comsearch&q=how+to+fill+a+front+oil+hub+with+oil&s_chn=prt_aol20 Owell as I said do what you feel is right and no worries.

[QUOTE=Tow4; How much oil is in a civi tractor steer axle or trailer hub with oil bath bearing? Almost half way up the spindle.

Not looking too argue but here is ours and here is the truck oil floating Diff. The true float bearing axle has almost half the axle tube filled with oil . Ours Just makes the bottom of the tube. Just saying and we still have to run grease in the front axle. I will allways stick with the grease.

Not the first one to the bearing that's for shure. Jam nut yes. I like to take retaining nut down to 100/150 while spinning hub then back off half turn and with TQ wrench up to 50ft.lbs. Then put on the locking ring and see where the hole lines up. If it don't line up real close flip the locking...

[QUOTE=73m819 Before any of you "experts" call the above BS, 2 - This IS 110% FALSE, 99.9% of heavy civi trucks ARE wet hub, I am no expert Ron but I found the fill plug on anything that had oil bath bearings is much higher than the ones on our military rears. The oil bath has half the axle...

This is true but at war I would not even worry about a leaking axle seal. It will run fine for months as long as no water is in the mix and the diff will allways have more than enough gear oil in the sump to lube it's self. Someone asked about sockett size 4 3/8 4 7/8 Another thing I do is...

Ran a fleet service and did 27 compleat brakes on big rigs in one week. No that might not be a lot but yes I have done this one or two times.[thumbzup]

Respectively no you buy the right tools for the job.

Doing this right now. No chisles buy sockets put inner bearing and seal in first and you don't have to drain diff. Super single 16x20zxl buy my self thank you. When useing wheel dolly you won't ever catch inside seal on threads. The inside seal is installed with a seal installing tool into...
