GIGANT service video - Change hub unit on 5.5 t rigid axle | EN

[@soulofdmx]

So this does not need a hub seal? Because we have a 6 axle Broshuis with Gigant axles but this is the only trailer I saw in our Country. The bearing burnt after some of our mechanics worked on the axle.

GIGANT axles have a maintenance-free compact bearing that does not need additional lubrication with grease. The hub with the compact bearing remains on the axle during maintenance or for example when you need to change the brake pads and does not have to be dismantled. Further information on maintenance can be found in the manual All-In-One via www.gigant.com/en/service/downloads

But, what is the correct torque?

[@gigantgmbh2716]

You can find all technical information in the All-In-One maintenance and repair manual in the download section (www.gigant.com/service/download/). GIGANT has two different axle nuts for this axle. The material number on the front determines the torque. The material number ...535/...536 is tightened with 700Nm +-25 Nm. The material number ...070 is tightened with 480Nm +-20Nm. For further support you can contact our customer service or sales department.
