This spindle nut is intended for use with a traditional
PreSet hub. If you have a PreSet Plus®hub with
integrated spindle nut (see figure 1), you should be able
to reuse the spindle nut. See the back of these
instructions for listing of PreSet Plus spindle nut part
numbers.

PreSet Plus™
PreSet Plus
hubs feature
an integrated
spindle nut
held in place
with a retaining
ring.
This kit includes a Spindle Nut engineered specifically
for use with PreSet wheel hubs. PreSet spindle nuts
offer the best solution for optimized service life of your
PreSet hub.
Use this kit only with ConMet PreSet hubs. Only Pre-
Set hubs are designed to utilize these components
and function properly. Use of the kit components
in hubs other than ConMet PreSet could result in
catastrophic wheel end failure.
The PreSet spindle nut is not intended for use when
manually adjusting wheel bearings. Using this
spindle nut on hubs with manually adjusted bearings
could result in catastrophic wheel end failure.
Installation
1. Seat the flat inner washer into the back of the
spindle nut (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
2. Align the key or flat on the washer with the keyway or
flat on the spindle, and position the spindle nut and
washer against the outer bearing (see Figure 3).
Figure 3
3. Install the spindle nut by rotating the nut in a
clockwise direction to fully engage the threads. Torque
the spindle nut to 300 ft. lbs. while rotating the hub.
DO NOT BACK OFF THE SPINDLE NUT.
4. Visually examine the three holes in the face of the
spindle nut. One of the holes will line up with the holes
in the inner washer. Install the tab of the red locking
snap ring through the hole in the nut and washer
that are aligned. Spread the locking ring, push it over
the spindle nut and into the machined grooves in the
spindle nut. Use caution not to bend the locking ring
permanently.
5. Rotate the hub assembly checking for smooth and
free rotation.
Verify the hub will rotate by hand before placing it in
service. Some drag is normal for a new seal, but exces-
sive drag or roughness may indicate excessive bearing
preload which could result in premature seal failure. An
incorrect combination of parts or the use of one or more
non-PreSet parts may cause this condition.
Failure to fill the hub with the correct amount of
lubricant can cause premature failure of the
PreSet hub assembly, which could result in a
wheel loss and possible death or serious injury.
For proper lubrication requirements refer to ConMet
service manuals which can be found online at
