Installation notes
Tighten the inner nut until the wheel binds, then back off approximately 1/6 turn until the wheel spins freely. Check after assembly by rocking the tyre at top and bottom — a very slight play should be perceptible. Check after a test drive that the hub does not become too warm, which indicates adjustment is too tight.
Compatibility
The size of the spanner differs per vehicle type: 2-1/8 inch for jeeps with Dana 25/27 axles, 2-9/16 inch for heavier trucks such as Dodge WC-series and M37. Check the size of the adjusting nut before ordering.
Historical context
Wheel bearing spanners were standard motorpool tools — not always supplied in the individual vehicle toolkit, but essential for correct maintenance. Correct bearing adjustment was critical for reliability under combat conditions.
