SKF updates TFO wheel end maintenance guide

The trouble-free operation (TFO) wheel end maintenance guide from SKF has been updated to include the latest wheel end maintenance practices and instructional materials. A technical resource for fleets, the guide covers the SKF heavy-duty product line and offers general guidelines and warranties, detailed graphics and instructional materials for disassembly/re-assembly and failure analysis of bearings, hubcaps and seals.

The updated SKF guide includes a new section with interchanges for tapered bearings, half stand bearings, hubcaps and Scotseal wheel seals. Other new features include QR codes with links to instructional YouTube videos for installing the Scotseal PlusXL and Scotseal Classic, and information about SKF technical training trucks, which deliver hands-on training at fleet facilities. Additionally, the back cover of the guide now lists QR codes for quick access to the new SKF Parts Info mobile app and mobile parts lookup web site.
