Front
Axle Wheel Bearings

To
lubricate the wheel bearings, it is necessary
to remove, clean, repack, and adjust them. When
front wheel hubs and bearings are removed for
lubrication,
they should be thoroughly washed in a
suitable cleaning solvent. The bearings should be
carefully
dried and then given a thorough cleaning

and
inspection. Use a clean brush to remove all

particles
of old lubricant from bearings and hubs.

After
the bearings are cleaned, inspect them for
pitted races and rollers. Also, check the hub oil
seals.

Note:
Wheel bearing lithium base lubricants are
used at the factory for
initial
fill
of
these
bearings.
When
lithium base and sodium base lubricants are

mixed,
the result is a thinned-out mixture that
can
bleed through seals. It is therefore important
that lubricants with the correct base be used when

lubricating
the wheel bearings.
Should
leaks occur at wheel bearing seals, the leaks

may
be caused by a mixture of two
types
of
lubri­

cants.
In such cases, the old lubricant should be
completely removed before new lubricant is added.

Wheel
bearings should be thoroughly cleaned,
lubricated
with lithium base and reinstalled.

Repack
the bearing
cones
and rollers with grease

and
reassemble hub in the reverse order of the
disassembly. Test the bearing adjustment as out­

lined
in Section Q.

B-57.
Rear
Axle Wheel Bearings

The
Rear
wheel bearings an early models equipped

with
lubrication fittings with a vent opening
through the housings above each fitting should be
lubricated
sparingly, each
2,000
miles
[3.200
km.].

Use
a hand compressor and wheel bearing grease,
forcing
the grease through each lubrication fitting

until
it flows from the vent. Vent should be kept
clear
of obstruction or grease
will
back up into the

brakes.
Do not add grease after it flows from the
vent for it may be forced through the wheel key-
way
onto
the outside of the wheel and possibly

onto
the brake linings.
Rear
wheel bearings that do
not have lubrication fittings should be removed
each
12,000
miles
[19.200
km.] and the bearing
cleaned, inspected and repacked. Refer to proce­

dure
in Par. B-56.

Note:
When servicing the Flanged Axle Unit
Bear­

ing Assembly, refer to Section N, Par. N-5 for

proper
lubrication procedures.

B-58.
Propeller Shafts
and
Universal Joints

The
propeller shaft slip joints and universals should
be lubricated with a hand compressor grease gun so as to not damage the bearing seals. The units
should be lubricated with a
good
quality grease.

Refer
to the
Lubrication
Chart
for lubrication fre­
quency and lubricant type and grade. B-59.

GENERAL
—V-6
Engine

The
Dauntless V-6
engine
Exhaust
Emission
Con­

trol
System consists of a belt-driven air pump

which
directs compressed air through connecting
hoses
to a steel distribution manifold into stainless steel injection
tubes
in the exhaust port adjacent
to each exhaust valve.
This
air, with its normal
oxygen
content, reacts with the hot but incom­
pletely burned exhaust
gases
and permits further combustion in the exhaust port or manifold.

The
Exhaust
Emission System on V6-225
engines

limits
the hydrocarbon and carbonmonoxide emis­sions from the exhaust system. The system includes

an
engine
designed for low emissions and lean
carburetor
calibration at idle and part throttle.

The
lean carburetion is possible because of the
heated air system that is part of the Emission
System.
See Fig. F2-2.
With
the heated air system
operating, inlet air temperature is around
115°F.
[46°C],
after the first few minutes of operation.

This
makes the use of lean (hot weather)
cali­
bration
possible, and the vehicle
still
responds and

drives
well in cold weather.

The
engine
has a "ported"
spark
advance, with the

vacuum
take-off just above the throttle valve, so that there is no vacuum advance at closed throttle,
but there is vacuum advance as
soon
as the throttle is opened slightly. To reduce emissions at idle and
at lower
engine
speeds, the
engine
timing is such
that the distributor
will
not have centrifugal ad­
vance until about 900 RPM.

pipe, a adapter elbow and an air cleaner contain­ing temperature control doors operated by vacuum
through a temperature sensor. The heat
stove
is a
sheet
metal cover, shaped to and bolted on with
the right exhaust manifold. Air drawn in along the lower
edge
of the
stove
passes across the mani­
fold surface, picking-up heat. The heated air is
drawn
out from the front of the manifold, through
the heated air pipe and adapter elbow into the
snorkel
of the air cleaner.

The
temperature control air cleaner is designed to mix this heated air with cold air from under the
hood so that carburetor inlet air temperature aver­
ages
about
115°F.
[46°C.].
This
mixing is
done
by two air doors, a cold air door and a hot air door,

which
move
together
so that when the cold air door is closed, the hot air door is open and vice
versa.
Most of the time, both doors
will
be partially
open as required to control the temperature. When
the underhood temperature reaches about 135
°F
[57°C]
the cold air door
will
open wide and the
hot air door
will
close
tight See Fig. F2-3. Ob­ viously, if underhood temperatures rise above
135°F.
[57°C]
the air cleaner
will
no longer be
able to control temperatures and the inlet air tem­

perature
will
rise with underhood temperature.
The
temperature doors are moved by a diaphragm
type vacuum door. When there is no vacuum pres­ ent in the motor, the diaphragm spring forces the
cold air door open and the hot air door closed.

Whenever
the
engine
is running, the amount of
vacuum
present in the vacuum motor depends on
the temperature sensor in the air cleaner which is located in the vacuum line
between
the intake
manifold and the vacuum motor. In the sensor, a 149

EXHAUST
EMISSION
CONTROL
SYSTEMS

bi-metal temperature sensing spring starts to open

a
valve to bleed more air into the vacuum line
whenever the temperature in the air cleaner rises
above about
115°F.
[46°C.].
Whenever the tem­

perature
falls below about
115°F.
[46°C]
the sensing spring starts to
close
the air bleed into the

vacuum
line, allowing more manifold vacuum to

reach
the vacuum motor. Whenever there is 9 inches [22,8 cm.] or more of vacuum in the vacuum
motor, the diaphragm spring is compressed, the cold air door is closed and the hot air door is
opened.

When
the
engine
is not running, the diaphragm
spring
will
always hold the cold air door open and
the hot air door closed. However, when the
engine

is running, the position of the doors depends on the

air
temperature in the air cleaner.
When
starting a cold
engine
(air cleaner tempera­
ture under 95° F. [35°
C.]),
the cold air door
will
close
and the hot air door
will
open immediately. See Fig. F2-4.
This
is because the air bleed valve

in
the sensor is closed so that
full
manifold vacuum
is applied in the vacuum motor. The cold air door

will
remain tightly closed only a few minutes, how­
ever. As
soon
as the air cleaner starts receiving
hot air from the heat
stove,
the sensor
will
cause the cold air door to open partially, mixing cold air

with
the hot air as necessary to regulate air cleaner temperature within 20° of the ideal
115°F.
[46°C]

air
inlet temperature. See Fig. F2-5.
If
underhood air temperature rises to 135° F.
[57°
C] the air to the vacuum bleed valve in the
sensor
will
be wide open so that vacuum motor approaches zero. The diaphragm spring in the vac­
uum
motor
will
hold the cold air door wide open

and
close
the hot air door tightly. If underhood
temperature rises above 135° F. [57° C]
car­
buretor inlet air temperature
will
also rise above
135°
F. [57° C.].

Windshield Wiper System

Early

the
windshield inside
the
vehicle. The wiper motors
are
operated

and
controlled
by a

on the
instru­
ment panel.

Current
production vehicles with stationary wind­
shield have
a
two-speed
electric windshield wiper motor mounted below
the
windshield outside
the

vehicle on the driver's side. The wiper motor switch is located
on the
instrument panel
to the

Two-Speed Wiper Motor

The
two-speed
electric wiper motor
is
operated and

Current
flow
is directed from
the
