The nut takes care of seating the bearings... that is why you torque it down a few times then back it off until the pin on the inner spindle nut lines up with the hole... Tom

Thanks for the kind words.... but there wouldn't been any thread like this if I didn't have a good friend like Shade_Tree who pitches in and gets it done. He just helped me bypass a mech pump on a civie truck today! Shade_tree doesn't talk much... and posts even less. :wink:

\ looks like you got the '84 six lug that I've only read about... Why not just buy the 4 lug hub nut system and retrofit it... you could buy the warn like I did, and there are others out there...

Next we smeared fresh grease on and put in the new warn premium hub assembly, the outer snap ring, and threaded a new hub bolt in and checked for a little play (per the warn instructions)... note the pick is in the grove in the picture below is where the snap ring will go next... if the grove...

Once done we noticed we'd gotten some more grease on the disc... that is bad for breaks, but break cleaner aint good for grease... so we shot it on a rag and wiped and wiped until it was clean... one of us put on new clean gloves (having a box of them helps work clean... you just take them off...

Be sure to clean any remnants of old grease and the seal from the spindle, the disc, and the bearings. Again read the -20 TM... We used a bunch of brake cleaner and shot it on the bearings over a shallow container that caught the waste and was reused for dunking to get all the grease off...

Next we removed the break caliper by removing the two allen head drive bolts... my 8mm allen was to small.. the 10 mm was to big... and that was all my metric allen drive kit had... luckily Shade_tree had a 3/8" and it fit perfect! :) We also took the opportunity to replace the pads. It...

Now here is where an 84 will differ from all other m1009's.... they had 6 lug spindle/bearning nuts... depicted as 14... where as all others had 4 lug nuts 11 & 13 like you'll see here... I picked up the spindle nut socket in the tool isle at Autozone... I've seen similar with the tools...

Then the inner snap ring (5) comes out with standard snap ring plyers allowing the inner hub body ( 8 ) to come out... I don't think my 1986 M1009 had parts 9 nor 10 unless they were somehow in the inner hub body... and I know it didn't have a washer behind the snap ring as depicted in section...

We then decided to remove the hub body's(#8 ) innerds, though it is not really necessary as they will come out all together... Then pry out the outer snap ring (7) {its just a round wire with a break in it, that engages and sits in the outer portion of the hub]... its a little tricky to get...

Well Shade_tree and I finally finished servicing the front wheel bearings and when we did the second one I took pics... please review the TM... this is only meant to serve as a pictoral illustration of the information found there. We found the retaining washer for the spindle nuts broken on...
