Specifications
950B AND 950E WHEEL LOADERS AIR SYSTEM AND BRAKES
(1) Torque for 15 bolts that fasten the carrier to wheel assembly ... 270 ± 25 N·m (200 ± 18 lb ft)
(2) Diameter of new planet shafts ... 42.316 ± 0.008 mm (1.6660 ± .0003 in.)
(3) Torque for 20 bolts that fasten the disc to the wheel assembly ... 270 ± 25 N·m (200 ± 18 lb ft)
(4) Rubber toric seals and all surfaces in contact with them must be clean and dry at assembly. Put a thin
layer of oil on the surfaces of the metal seals that are in contact just before installation. Put lubricant on
all other seals at assembly.
(5) Inside diameter of a new planet gear ... 51.872 ± 0.010 mm (2.0422 ± .0004 in.)
(6) Round washers must be assembled adjacent to the gear.
NOTE: See Adjustment Of The Wheel Bearings.
(7) Final torque after wheel bearings are adjusted ... 150 ± 20 N·m (110 ± 15 lb ft)
(8) Torque for 16 bolts that fasten the brakes and spindles to the axle housing ... 475 ± 50 N·m (350 ± 37 lb ft)
Adjustment Of The Wheel Bearings
1. Press wheel bearing cups (1) into the wheel. Check seating with feeler gauge.
2. Install Duo-Cone seal (2) in the wheel.
3. Install Duo-Cone seal (2) on the spindle.
4. Install outer wheel bearing cone (3) on the hub. Lightly oil the cone.
5. Install inner wheel bearing cone (4) on the spindle. Lightly oil the cone.
6. Put wheel (5) on spindle (9).
7. Place hub (6) on spindle (9).
8. Use an outside micrometer and measure the thickness of the bearing adjusting plate (7) at
the three small holes. Record the average thickness.
9. Install adjusting plate (7) on spindle (9). Do not use shims (12) and do not tighten bolts
(11).
10. Rotate wheel (5) to seat bearing rollers (3) and (4) on the cone.
11. While rotating wheel, tighten three of adjusting plate bolts (11) to 100 N·m (75 lb ft) to
seat the parts.
12. Loosen the three bolts.
NOTE: The grip length (A) is the distance from the center of the hand to the center of the
wrench square drive. Any length torque wrench can be used, but you must always grip the
torque wrench distance (A) from the wheel rim mounting bolt.
13. Using torque wrench (8) on mounting bolt (10) for the wheel rim, record the rolling
torque that it takes to continuously turn the wheel. This is the seal rotating torque. Grip
length for torque wrench (8) is Distance (A) 203 mm (8.0 in.).
14. While rotating wheel (5), tighten three plate bolts (11) to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
15. Use a depth micrometer and measure through the three small holes in plate (7). Record
the average depth.
16. Find the difference between the two average measurements in Steps 8 and 15. The
difference is the gap between the end of the spindle housing and the adjusting plate.
17. Remove plate (7). Install an amount of shims (12) equal to the same thickness as the
average gap found in Step 16 plus 0.13 mm (.005 in.).
18. Reinstall plate (7) and torque plate bolts (11) evenly to 150 ± 20 N·m (110 ± 15 lb ft).
19. Attach torque wrench (8) to wheel rim mounting bolt (10) and record the torque needed
to continuously rotate the wheel (the final drive is not installed). Grip length for torque
wrench (8) is Distance (A) 203 mm (8.0 in.).
20. From the torque obtained in Step 19 subtract the seal rotating torque obtained in Step 13.
This is the actual rolling torque for the preloaded bearings and should be 8.0 N·m (70 lb in)
for NEW wheel bearings; 5.0 N·m (45 lb in) for USED wheel bearings.
NOTE: If desired, a strap iron with a nut in the center can be bolted across the wheel and
the torque wrench placed directly on this nut (Location 13). In this case, the desired rotating
torque will be 17.5 N·m (155 lb in) for NEW wheel bearings; 10 N·m (90 lb in) for USED
wheel bearings.
NOTE: If the turning torque is quite high, disassemble the parts and check for interference.
If the torque with new bearing is lower than for used bearings, measure and compute again
the amount of shims needed.
