2009 — Installation

HOME 2. See Figure 2-87 . Obtain WHEEL BEARING INSTALLER/REMOVER (Part No. HD-44060) and assemble tools required for bearing removal. sm03114 a. Sparingly apply graphite lubricant to threads of forcing screw (1) to prolong service life and ensure smooth operation. b. Install nut (2), washer (3) and bearing (4) on screw. Insert assembly through hole in bridge (6). NOTE As ABS equipped motorcycles use both a special encoder bearing and a standard bearing in the same hub, two dif- ferent 25 mm collets are required for bearing removal.The ABS encoder bearing is always installed on the primary brake disc side of the wheel.

To aid in identification, the outboard side of the ABS encoder bearing is greenish tan in color, while the standard bearing is black. 2 1 c. Drop ball bearing inside collet (5). Fasten collet and ball bearing to forcing screw (1). 3. Hold end of forcing screw (1) and turn collet (5) to expand edges of collet. 4. See Figure 2-88 . When expanded collet has gripped bearing edges, hold end of forcing screw (1) and turn nut (2) to remove bearing from wheel. 1. Forcing screw 2. Nut Figure 2-88. Removing Bearing (typical) 5. If ABS encoder bearing was removed from primary brake disc side of wheel, remove ABS collett from forcing screw and install standard collett. INSTALLATION 6.

Remove spacer from inside wheel hub. PART NUMBER 7. Repeat procedure for opposite side bearing. Discard all bearings upon removal. HD-44060 NOTES sm03113 • On a front wheel, install bearing on the left side first. On a rear wheel, install bearing on the brake disc or right side first. On ABS equipped motorcycles, the special encoder bearing is always installed at this location. • As ABS equipped motorcycles use both a special encoder bearing and a standard bearing in the same hub, two dif- ferent 25 mm collets are required for bearing removal.The ABS encoder bearing is always installed on the primary brake disc side of the wheel.

To aid in identification, the outboard side of the ABS encoder bearing is greenish tan in color, while the standard bearing is black. 1 6 5 4 3 2 1. Forcing screw 2.
