Troubleshooting Wheel End Seals
Perform an air seal pressure check as follows (refer to
"Wheel End Seals" illustration).
1. Connect a hose from a pressure
reservoir, 2" ID x 12"
long with 2' long 3/8" hose (or equivalent volume),
to the inlet tube.
2. Plug hub air port with a 3/8" pipe plug or 9/16-18
strai
ght thread O-ring plug, as appropriate.
3. Open the valve from the air supply line and stabilize
the pressure in th
e reservoir to 100 PSI minimum.
Close air supply valve. Rotate
the hub assembly while
monitoring the pressure gauge. The pressure reading should
not drop more than
15 PSI in 20 seconds.
Note: If the air l
eakage exceeds 15 PSI in 20 seconds, the hub
may need to be rotated several times to ensure a
complete pressure seal.
If air leakage rate remains outside of accepted limit, locate
sour
ce of leak:
• Loose Fittings.
• Spindle/Sleeve Outer O-ring.
• Air Seals.
Refer to the Service Manual for
replacement procedure.
