Adjusting the wheel bearing play
1.
Remove the lock nut from the axle journal,
using special tool (DAF No. 0535832 for
trailing axle 09N075 and DAF No. 0535648
for trailing axle 09N220).
2.
Remove the locking washer and the circlip
from the axle journal.
3.
Loosen the hub nut a single turn, using
special tool (DAF No. 0694783 for trailing
axle 09N075 and DAF No. 0535648 for
trailing axle 09N220).
4.
Tighten the adjusting nut to a tightening
torque of 100 Nm using a torque wrench,
while turning the hub.
5.
The specified wheel bearing play is
achieved by turning the hub nut
counter-clockwise between 45
_ and 60_.
The correct angle is the one that allows the
circlip to be fitted. If necessary, turn the
circlip around, changing the hole pattern.
6.
Fit the circlip so that the circlip lip falls into
the key groove of the axle journal and the
dowel pin of the axle nut falls into one of the
holes of the circlip.
7.
Fit the lock nut. Tighten the lock nut to the
specified tightening torque, using special
tool (DAF No. 0535832 for trailing axle
09N075 and DAF No. 0535648 for trailing
axle 09N220), see main group “Technical
data”.
