Adjusting backlash Bearing Kit
Cars up to 9/89 MY. and all models are "universal" (not AWD) | - Change the position of the disc relative to the hub wheel to balance the wheel could be established in former position.
- Loosen the wheel nuts standing on the ground of the car.
- Raise the vehicle.
- Remove the wheel.
- Remove the hub cap using a screwdriver, without damaging it in the process.
| - Fold the folded collar nut to nut can be rotated.
|
- Unscrew the nut of a nave and replaced by a new one.
 | The hub nut on the left side of the vehicle has a left-hand thread, it is necessary to loosen rotate to the right (clockwise). |
- Screw the hub nut by hand until it will not fit. Then tighten the nut with torque wrench with a force of 25 Nm.
 | Rotate when tightening the nut brake drum, not to catch bearing. |
- Several times turn the hub to properly villages bearing.
| - Slightly loosen the hub nut, until it is rotated by hand.
|
- The method of adjustment without dynamometer: again slightly tighten the hub nut, turning the wheel hub at the same time. Brake drum should rotate easily, but should not be felt appreciable lateral play. If there is a backlash, check it with a micrometer dial. See Section Checking the bearing hub.
| - In workshops MAZDA bearing is adjusted as follows. (In practice, some experience sufficient adjustment to that described above):
- When weakened hub bearing mounted on one of the bolts of the wheel dynamometer at a right angle.
- Pull the dynamometer until the hub starts to rotate. Force when the hub starts to rotate depends on the gland. Remove and record the readings.
- Slowly tighten the nut the hub while rotating the hub until it reaches the correct tension. The required value is 2.6 - 8.5 N. To this must be added pre-measured resistance gland.
- When correctly adjusted the bearing torque at which the hub starts to rotate, 0.15 - 0.49 Nm.
|
| - To hammer in a nut fillet into a nave groove pins are not very sharp chisel. This serves to protect against loosening nut.
|
- Score the new hub cap using a tube.
 | Deformed caps necessarily replaced because of a leak in the bearing can get the moisture and destroy it in the short term. |
- Screw wheel, taking into account the markings on the hub. Lower the car and tighten the wheel nuts crosswise with torque of 100 Nm.
