930 FLOATER INSTRUCTIONS WARNING!!! DO NOT EVER PRESSURE WASH ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR FLOATERS. IF YOU SPRAY WATER INSIDE THE FLOATER YOUR BEARINGS AND RACES WILL RUST TOGETHER AND WILL BE JUNK!!!
1. Press in studs and races if we haven't already done that for you. If you don't have access to a press, we will press your studs and races in free of charge. Be sure the races are pressed all the way in.
2. Inspect and install spindle on rear arm. If you remove the spindle from the arm you may want to sent it off to crack check. Grind off about two (2) threads of the 3/8" x 5/8" spindle bolts. Use new 3/8" AN washers and RED LOCTITE!!! Torque these bolts to 45 lbs-ft. Make sure you install the right-threaded spindle on the passenger side and the left-threaded spindle on the driver side!!!!
3. Inspect the bearings and races. Make sure there is no rust or other junk on the races or in the bearings. Grease the bearing. We use Chevron Delo grease. Make sure the grease squeezes through the bearing and grease the races on the hub lightly before installing the bearing.
4. Inspect your rear seal. Make sure the rubber squeezes freely and doesn't hit the lip of the seal. Clean the surface where the seal pounds into the hub. AFTER you have put in the greased bearing, pound the seal in carefully. Make the seal even with the top surface of the hub.
5. Clean and inspect your brake rotor. Make sure there are no hairline cracks. Make sure the surface that gets bolted against the hub is clean. You may need to sand off any rust and sharp edges. Install the rotor. Use RED LOCTITE!!! Make sure all of the rotor bolts are clean.
6. Grease the outer race and install the hub assembly onto the spindle on your rear arm. Put the outboard bearing into the hub. Clean any excess grease off the spindle threads. Install the spindle nut using a 3" spanner wrench. Make sure the pinch bolt is fairly tight or else the spindle nut might skip a thread. Do not be afraid to tighten the spindle nut past hand tight. We even use a hammer to make sure it is really tight. Also, make sure to tighten the pinch bolt down as tight as possible after you have tightened down the spindle nut. This is a little difficult as it is a tight space but use a long handled allen wrench and let it bend a little.
7. Clean and inspect brake calipers. Check the brake pads. Use the pre-drilled bolts provided, new 3/8" AN washers, and RED LOCTITE!!! When installed, safety wire the bolts.
8. Clean and inspect the drive plate, v-seals, o-rings, and CV cups. You may have to clean the CV cup surfaces with sand paper so they are smooth. Tap the 1/2" dowel pins into the CV cup lightly. Line up the dowel pins and insert CV cup into the drive plate. Bolt the drive plate to the CV cup with the 3/8" x 3/4" 12 Point bolts. Use RED LOCTITE and no washers. Torque to 45 lbs-ft. Use a screwdriver in the brake caliper and put the drive plate on the hub to tighten the drive plate bolts. This works well on CV bolts as well.
8a. If you are using the old style drive plate, once you line up the dowel pins and insert the CV cup into the drive plate, look through the CV cup and find the non- through holes. The holes in the CV cup alternate between through holes, and non-through holes. Use the 3/8" x 1" 12 Point bolts (use RED LOCTITE!!!) and bolt the CV cup to the drive plate in the non-through holes. Then, put the o-ring on the cap and attach the cap to the drive plate using the 3/8" x 1" bolts in the through holes (use RED LOCTITE!!!). If you screw this up, the CV bolts hit the drive plate bolts and your CV will be loose. Torque these bolts same as above, 45 lbs-ft.
9. Grease and insert big o-ring. The grease should hold it in the groove. Install and grease the v-seal on the CV cup.
10. Prep CVs and axles. Off of the car, attach the floater side CV to the drive plate. Slide this through the spindle and attach the transmission side CV to the transmission. On the transmission side, you may have to grind off two (2) threads of the CV bolts if you are using a Mendeola transmission. Use RED LOCTITE and tighten the CV bolts down to 45 lbs-ft.
11. When everything is tight, use the flat-head cap screws to attach the drive plate to the hub. Use anti-seize or else the cap screws gall and are difficult to remove.
