Locknut Installation Note

Caution
•  When installing the locknut, install it manually without using an electric or pneumatic tool. Otherwise, the locknut may seize and the tightening force of the wheel hub may decrease and cause excessive play or abnormal noise.
•  When installing the locknut, do not apply load at the ground to the axle. Otherwise, it could damage the wheel hub.

1.  If dust or grease is on the drive shaft thread area, wipe it off with a cloth.

2.  Tighten the locknut using the following procedure and with the brake pedal depressed.

(1)  Tighten locknut to 100—150 N·m {11—15 kgf·m, 74—110 ft·lbf} torque.
(2)  Loosen locknut to 180 degrees.
(3)  Tighten locknut to 236—274 N·m {25—27 kgf·m, 175—202 ft·lbf} torque.
