Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. Remove the wheel bearing and hub. For additional information, refer to Wheel Bearing and Wheel Hub Service and Repair.

2. Using a suitable press, remove the wheel stud from the wheel hub.
- Discard the wheel stud.


3. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
