Installation

CAUTIONS:
- Hub and bearing assembly mounting surfaces on the steering knuckle and halfshaft must be smooth and completely free of foreign material or nicks prior to installing hub and bearing assembly.
- When installing hub and bearing assembly into steering knuckle, be careful not to damage the bearing seal on the outer C/V joint.

1. Install hub/bearing assembly onto stub axle and into steering knuckle until squarely seated on the face of the steering knuckle.





2. Install the 4 hub/bearing assembly to steering knuckle attaching bolts. Equally tighten all 4 mounting bolts in a criss-cross pattern until hub/ bearing assembly is squarely seated against front of steering knuckle. Then tighten the 4 hub and bearing assembly mounting bolts to a torque of 65 Nm (45 ft. lbs.).





3. Install the hub/bearing assembly to stub shaft washer and retaining nut. Tighten, but do not torque the hub nut at this time.
4. Install the braking disk on the hub and bearing assembly.








5. Install front brake caliper back over braking disc and align with caliper mounting holes on steering knuckle. Caliper is installed by first installing bottom of caliper under machined abutment on bottom of steering knuckle and then rotating top of caliper toward steering knuckle. Install the disc brake caliper to steering knuckle attaching bolts and tighten to a torque of 19 Nm (168 inch lbs.).
6. Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 129 Nm (95 ft. lbs.).
7. Lower vehicle to the ground.

CAUTION: When tightening hub/bearing assembly to stub shaft retaining nut, do not exceed the maximum torque of 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.).

8. With vehicle brakes applied to keep vehicle from moving, torque stub shaft to hub/bearing assembly retaining nut to 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.).
9. Check the Toe setting on the vehicle and reset if not within specifications.
