Smooth Roads Ahead: Making Wheel Bearing Jobs Work for Your Shop
Sponsored By BCA Bearings by NTN
Wheel bearings are safety-critical components which feature precision engineering, robust construction, and a long service life. However, all wheel bearings will eventually need to be replaced. Wheel bearing or hub assembly replacement can present a number of challenges to technicians. This could be due in part to bearing design, construction, corrosion buildup, and/or replacement parts selection.
During this 45-minute webinar we will discuss:

This procedure can be used to inspect and identify fluid which may appear around the brake caliper area.
This bulletin describes the procedure to inspect and identify fluid which may appear around the brake caliper area. If fluid appears around the brake caliper piston area, test the fluid to identify whether the fluid is brake fluid or assembly oil, per the service procedures below.
1. If oil/fluid is present on the brake caliper piston area, test the fluid to determine if it is brake fluid or assembly oil. Use a cotton swab to carefully collect a sample of the fluid (Figure 1). Do not disturb the caliper boot.
2. Using an oil or water based ink pen, draw several horizontal lines on a sheet of paper. Wipe the collected fluid vertically down the ink lines (Figure 2).
NOTICE: If a fluid leak is found at the banjo bolt area between the brake line and the caliper (Figure 3), replace the copper washers of the banjo fitting. Follow the applicable service manual procedures to replace the washers, bleed the brake system, and inspect for brake fluid leaks.
