5. Applications with bushing lip seals
When installing bushing lip seals the metal casing of the seal must back up to the bushing. The lip of the seal must face the axle eye from each bore. (See arrow in drawing below.) After king pin installation is complete and greased, check the spindle action. It the spindle locks up (it cannot be moved from side to side by hand), the bushing seals have been installed backwards. Tear down, turn seals around and reassemble.
6. Greasing before assembly
Pack thrust bearings with grease and wipe grease on bushings in spindle bores. Install new grease fittings.

7. Finish assembling In your usual manner. NOTE: Top of king pin is marked "Top", these markings are parallel to lock flats for ease of installation (straight pin applications).

8. Test spindle movement before final greasing. Movement should be smooth and uninterrupted.

9. Greasing after assembly
Side spindle greasing: The pressure relief valves in end plates prevent blowing seals. Apply grease until visible from between wear surface (spindle and axle) and at the pressure relief valve, both top and bottom bores.
End plate greasing: Grease from each end until grease appears between wear surface (axle and spindle).

NOTE: Vehicles using Qwik Kit can be greased on the ground without jacking up the front axle.

FINAL INSPECTION
Make a final check of the assembly before placing vehicle in service.
