INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.





- Place a suitable washer (A) as shown in the figure to install the hub bolts (1) by using the tightening force of the nut (B).

CAUTION:
- Check that there is no clearance between wheel hub and bearing assembly, and hub bolt.
- Never reuse hub bolt.
- Clean the matching surface of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub and bearing assembly.

CAUTION:
Never apply lubricating oil to these matching surface.





- Clean the matching surface of drive shaft and wheel hub and bearing assembly. And then apply paste [service parts (440037S000)]
to surface (A) of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.

CAUTION:
Apply paste to cover entire flat surface of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.

Amount paste 1.0 - 3.0 g (0.04 - 0.10 oz)

- Use the following torque range for tightening the wheel hub lock nut.

Tightening torque: 218 - 223 N-m (22.3 - 22.7 kg-m, 161 - 164 ft-lb)

CAUTION:
- Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel hub lock nut.
- Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.

NOTE:
Wheel hub lock nut tightening torque does not over torque for avoiding axle noise, and does not less than torque for avoiding looseness.
- Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and axle housing.
- When installing the adjusting cap, check that there must be no play.
- Never reuse cotter pin, wheel hub lock nut, and bushing.
