With his license problem solved for another year, Smith set out once again to give the car a thorough ingpection, not all at once, but by degrees. Most motorists make the mistake of think ing that overhauling ought to be a week's job, and as they are always postponing that unpleasant period when they must be denied use of the machine, the car is virtually being neglected all the time. Hmith had long since learned that he could accomplish wonders simply by having things handy and doing every Job as it comes along. He wus frequently surprised, however, to find some part of the car which he had overlooked. The wheel bearings were a good {nstance of this He had never given these particular bearings any consideration other than to grease them—once. That was the time when he discovered the differ- ence between axles. He had found that the front axle was the dead type; that | is, it did not revolve, the wheels merely revolving on spindles attached to its ends. To grease these wheel hubs and bearings he saw that It was necessary only to pack the hub caps with grease and screw them on. Treating Rear Bearings. The rear bearings, however, he found, required somewhat different treatment. Here the axles were live, s0 that they revolved with the wheels instead of the wheels turning on them The bearings were really axle bearings located at the outer ends of the rear axle housing. The greasing was by means of a removable plug that screwed in a hole drilled through the housing at the point where each bear- ing was located. In reviewing these facts, thersfore, he was impressed suddenly by the fact bhear ngs for inspection and cleaning. After 0,000 miles of running, it was evident to him that they might need attention. first, because they appeared simpler than those in the rear. It was an easy matter to unscrew each hub cap, re-| move the cotter pin which kept the| position of the nut constant, and then unscrew the nut. What worried him | was what he would find when he had | removed & small thin disk, which he learned afterward was a bearing re- tainer. Whenever Smith undertook a job he | was not famillar with he always tackled it in the neighborhood garage, so that if anything went wrong there were always a few mechanics on hand to help him out. Smith was a good customer for supplies, so the garage man always took an interest in what ever Smith was doing with the car. In this instance, therefore, he was not | long in helping Smith decide whether or not to go ahead with what he had begun.
