Today, were going to do a How to Video on how to install your idler hub and all the parts onto a standard axle. What youll be getting in your kit will be a idler hub with the races preinstalled, inner and outer race. Youll get the outer bearing, youll get the inner bearing, youll get the grease seal, youll have the dust cap, also comes with five of the half inch lug knots to install your wheels and tires on, and it also come with the Marine grease that is used to grease the assembly. Now, the tools youll need to install the hub on to your axle will be a set of Channellocks, a hammer, a nice block of you wood youll probably have laying around your garage somewhere, and it does get pretty greasy when you grease the bearing, so a good supply of shop towels would work out for you also. Now, to install the idler hub on your axle, we ship the axle that will actually come like it is shown here, but it will have a tube on the end and it will have grease inside there to protect that spindle from getting any damage to it. The first thing you want to do is unwrap it, take the tube off. Then, what youll want to do is take out the cotter pin to squeeze the ends together. That should slide right out. more
