fl ush the bearing and RingDrive assembly with a light solvent-based spray lubricant (e.g.,

WD-40™). Do not use citrus based cleansers as they are corrosive and will damage

hub parts. Some solvents, synthetic lubricants, and greases with high-pressure additives

may attack and damage seals and other nonmetallic materials. Minimize exposure to these

substances and thoroughly dry hub after cleaning.

4. Using a toothbrush, scrub bearing surfaces, RingDrive splines and teeth, and helical splines

on driveshell to remove hardened grease and contaminants.

5. Flush bearing and RingDrive assembly again with a light solvent-based spray lubricant.

6. Use compressed air to blow all spray lubricant, old grease and contaminants out of the

bearings and hubshell. If compressed air is not available, use a clean, lint-free towel to

thoroughly wipe out interior of hub assembly and bearing surfaces. Bearings, RingDrive

and hub interior must be completely dry and free of solvents before adding new lubrication.

7. Wipe dirt and other contaminants from the seals and snap rings. Avoid cleaning the seals

with heavy-duty solvent, which could cause deterioration.

Service of the bearings

Chris King sealed bearings have removable snap

rings that hold the rubber seals in place.

1. Carefully, using a very small screwdriver,

pick, or penknife, remove the snap ring by

inserting tool into split of snap ring. Gently

work one end of the snap ring toward bearing

center until it is out of its groove. Follow the

ring around with the tool until the snap ring

is completely dislodged.

2. Lift and remove exposed rubber seal to

access the interior of the bearing. [Tech Tip:

Carefully note it's orientation.]

3. Thoroughly fl ush the bearing with a light spray

lubricant (e.g., WD-40™) and blow dry.

Note: Some solvents, synthetic lubricants, and greases with high-pressure additives may attack

and damage seals and other nonmetallic materials. Minimize exposure to these substances and

thoroughly dry hub after cleaning.

4. Wipe dirt and other contaminants from the seals and snap rings. Avoid cleaning the seals

with solvent, which could cause deterioration.

5. Lubrication of the R45 bearings. For R45 bearings with stainless steel balls, apply enough

RingDrive Lube to lightly coat the balls inside the bearing (approximately .3ml) of RingDrive

Lube 1/4 to 1/2 way around the top of the hub bearings. For R45 bearings with ceramic

balls, apply enough RingDrive Lube to lightly coat the balls inside the bearing, using

approximately .1ml (a pea-sized amount) of lube. This can be accomplished by applying

a light bead of lube 1/8 to 1/4 of the way around the bearing. Rotate the inner race to work

the lube throughout the ball area. In wet and/or muddy conditions, apply more lube to the

bearings to help seal the bearings from contaminants.

6. Reinstall black rubber seal between inner and outer bearing race. If using the original seal,
