Front Suspension

Wheel Bearing and Wheel Hub













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 number or an 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 and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheels and Tires Removal and Replacement.

2. NOTICE: Do not reuse the torque-prevailing designed halfshaft nut and washer assembly or damage to the component may occur.

Remove and discard the halfshaft nut and washer.

- To install, tighten to 250 Nm (184 lb-ft).

3. NOTICE: Do not use a hammer to separate the outboard Constant Velocity (CV) joint from the wheel bearing and hub. Damage to the outboard CV threads and to internal components may result.

Using the Front Wheel Hub Remover, separate the outboard CV joint from the wheel bearing and wheel hub.





4. Remove the bolt and detach the wheel speed sensor from the wheel bearing and wheel hub.
- To install, tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).

5. NOTICE: Do not allow the caliper and anchor plate assembly to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose may occur.

Remove the brake caliper anchor plate bolts and position the caliper, pads and anchor plate assembly aside.

- Support the caliper and anchor plate assembly using mechanic's wire.

- To install, tighten to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).

6. Remove the brake disc.

7. Remove and discard the 3 brake disc shield bolts and remove the shield.
- To install, tighten the new bolts to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).

8. NOTICE: Do not overextend the Constant Velocity (CV) joint and boots when removing the wheel bearing and hub assembly or damage to the CV joint may occur.

Remove and discard the 3 bolts, and remove the wheel bearing and wheel hub.

- To install, tighten the new bolts to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).

9. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
