CAUTION:

- The parts indicated by *1 should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle standing on the ground and the curb weight condition.

- The parts indicated by *2 are the bolts/nuts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque.

- The part indicated by *3is the bolt/nut with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, replace it with new one.





















Required Special Tool:

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

[[A]] DRIVESHAFT NUT REMOVAL

CAUTION:
Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub assembly with the driveshaft nut loosened. Otherwise, the wheel bearing will be broken.





Use special tool MB990767 to fix the hub and remove the driveshaft nut.

[[B]] CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

1. Remove the caliper assembly with brake hose.

2. Secure the removed caliper assembly with a wire or other similar material at a position where it will not interfere with the removal and installation of the rear wheel hub assembly.

[[C]] REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

Rear Axle.

[[D]] REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL





Without separating the parking brake cable, hang the rear brake assembly at the body-side using a string.

[[E]] LOWER ARM ASSEMBLY DISCONNECTION

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

]]A[[ REAR SENSOR COVER INSTALLATION





Align the marking with trailing arm hole as shown in the figure and install the rear sensor cover.

]]B[[ WASHER/DRIVESHAFT NUT INSTALLATION





CAUTION:

- Because the wheel speed detection magnetic encoder is magnetized, it collects metallic particles easily. Make sure that the magnetic encoder does not collect metallic particles. Check that there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.

- When installing the drive shaft, make sure that it does not contact with the wheel speed detection magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.

- Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub assembly before fully tightening the driveshaft nuts. Otherwise, the wheel bearing will be broken.





1. Incorporate the driveshaft washer as shown in the figure.
2. Use special tool MB990767 to tighten the driveshaft nuts. At this time, tighten the nuts within the specified torque range considering the final tightening.
Tightening torque: 144 - 176 Nm (107 - 129 ft-lb)
3. If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the driveshaft nut [less than 200 Nm (147 ft-lb)] and find the nearest hole then bend the cotter pin to fit it.
