ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method for mounting a wheel on an axle housing in the form of an axle tube (1) for vehicles, in particular commercial vehicles, whereby the wheel is fixed e.g. with wheel bolts to a wheel hub, rotating on the axle journal (2) of the axle tube (1). The axle journal (2) is clamped on to an end section (3) of the axle tube (1) as a separate component. For simplicity of manufacture and assembly combined with functional durability it is proposed that the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) is cylindrical on the inside and that the axle stub (2) fits into the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) with an externally corresponding cylindrical connecting section (5). Further, the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) is radially clamped on to the connecting section (5) of the axle stub (2) by at least one clamping piece (6) that is adjustable in an axial direction to the end (12) of the axle tube (1) by a threaded bolt (8).
