DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

SERVICE POINTS OF DISASSEMBLY
[[A]] REMOVAL OF HUB FROM KNUCKLE





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

CAUTION: Always use the special tool to remove the hub.

CAUTION: Never strike the hub or knuckle with a hammer to separate them as the bearing will be damaged.

[[B]]WHEEL BEARING





1. Crush the oil seal in two places so that the tabs of the special tool can be engage on the wheel bearing inner race.





2. Remove the wheel bearing inner race from the front hub by using the special tool, as shown in the illustration.





3. Drive the wheel bearing out with a press, using a 61 mm (2.4 inch) installer adaptor.

SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLY
]]A[[ WHEEL BEARING





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 using the special tools.

]]B[[ OIL SEAL (HUB SIDE)





1. Drive the oil seal (hub side) into the knuckle by using the special tools until it is flush with the knuckle end surface.
2. Apply multipurpose grease to the lip of the oil seal and to the surfaces of the oil seal which contact the front hub.

]]C[[ INSTALLING HUB (ON TO KNUCKLE)





1. Use the special tool to mount the hub on to the knuckle.
2. Torque the nut of the special tool to 196 - 255 Nm (145 - 188 ft. lbs.)
3. Rotate the hub in order to seat the bearing.
4. Leave the special tool in place and take the measurements described.

INSPECTION
^ Check the front hub and brake disc mounting surfaces for fretting and contamination.
^ Check the knuckle inner surface for galling or cracks.
^ Check for a defective bearing.

WHEEL BEARING BREAKAWAY TORQUE CHECK





1. Tighten the special tool to the front hub assembly to the specified torque 196 - 255 Nm (145 - 188 ft. lbs.). Use the special tool to measure the hub rotation starting torque.
Limit: 1.8 Nm (16 inch lbs.) or less
3. The hub rotation breakaway torque should be within the limit value range, and there should be no engagement or feeling of roughness.

WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK





1. Tighten the special tool to the front hub assembly to the specified torque 196 - 255 Nm (145 - 188 ft. lbs.).
2. Measure the play in the wheel bearing axial direction.
Limit: 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch)
3. If the limit value of wheel bearing axial play cannot be obtained, replace the wheel bearing.
