A wall chart designed to identify the proper torque specifications for truck and trailer wheel ends is available from Webb Wheel Products. Recommended specifications are shown for 6-stud and 10-stud ball seat-mounted and 8-stud and 10-stud pilot-mounted disc wheel hubs; 3-spoke, 5-spoke and 6-spoke wheels; and brake drum and rotor assemblies.
Having this information clearly visible in a maintenance shop can reduce wheel-end service times and help train new technicians, according to Cullman, Ala.-based Webb, which describes the wall chart as a useful, important addition to any heavy truck and trailer maintenance facility.
The wall chart can be requested by going to www.webbwheel.com/aftermarket/orderliterature.html or by calling 800-633-3256.
