Overhaul

DISASSEMBLY





1. Remove the snap ring.





2. Attach the special tools to the knuckle and hub.
3. Secure the knuckle in a vise.
4. Tighten the nut of the special tool and remove the hub from the knuckle.

NOTE: When removing wheel hub or wheel bearing from knuckle, replace wheel bearing assembly (outer race, inner races and grease seals) with a new one.





5. Using the special tool, remove the wheel bearing inner race (outside) from the front hub.





6. Install the inner race (outside) that was removed from the hub to the wheel bearing, and then use the special tool to remove the wheel bearing.

INSPECTION
1. Check the hub and brake disc mounting surfaces for scoring and contamination.
2. Check the knuckle inner surface for scoring and cracks.
3. Check for a defective bearing.

ASSEMBLY
1. Fill the wheel bearing with multipurpose grease.
2. Apply a thin coating of multipurpose grease to the knuckle and bearing contact surfaces.





3. Press-in the bearing by using the special tool.

NOTE: Do not press inner race of wheel bearing assembly.





4. Install snap ring into groove of knuckle.





5. Measure the hub bearing starting torque.

Hub bearing starting torque [Limit]: 1.3 Nm (12 inch lbs.) or less.

6. If the starting torque is 0 Nm (0 inch lbs.), measure the hub bearing axial play.





7. If the hub axial play exceeds the limit while the nut is tightened to 200-260 Nm (148-192 ft. lbs.), the bearing, hub and knuckle have not been installed correctly. Repeat the disassembly and assembly procedure.

Standard value:
Hub bearing axial play [Limit]: 0.008 mm (0.0003 inch).
