Removal

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number or an equivalent part must be installed, if installation is necessary. Do not use a part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used during reassembly to ensure correct retention of these parts.

1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3. Remove the front brake disc.





4. Remove and discard the front hub cap grease seal.





5. CAUTION: The wheel hub retainer is a one time use item and must be replaced with a new retainer when removed. Failure to do so can cause the retainer to come loose during vehicle operation resulting in loss of vehicle control.

Remove and discard the front axle wheel hub retainer.





6. Remove the front wheel hub and bearing.

Installation





1. NOTE: Use a new wheel hub retainer and hub cap grease seal.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
