WHEEL HUB, STEERING KNUCKLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
| CAUTION | Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may possibly cause an open circuit in the wiring harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the following procedures, disconnect the ABS wheel-speed sensor connector (axle side) and fix the wiring harness to an appropriate place where it will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle. |
Scheme 3
- Remove in the order indicated in the table.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
- After installation, inspect the front wheel alignment and adjust it if necessary. (See «FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT»(ref-292920-S32248914152008080600000) .)
Scheme 4
- Knock the crimped portion of the locknut outward using a small chisel and a hummer.
- Lock the hub by applying the brakes.
- Remove the locknut.
Scheme 5
- Remove the brake caliper component from the steering knuckle and suspend it out of the way using a cable.
Scheme 6
- Separate the shock absorber from the wheel hub, steering knuckle component by tapping the upper part of the steering knuckle with a hammer.
Scheme 7
- Remove the wheel hub component using the SSTs.
- If the bearing inner race remains on the front wheel hub component, perform the following procedure
Scheme 8
- Grind a section of the bearing inner race until approx. 0.5 mm {0.02 in} remains.
- Remove the bearing inner race using a chisel.
Scheme 9
Scheme 10
Scheme 11
- Remove the part as shown in the figure.
- Position the SSTs and a spare bolt ( M10 length 90 mm {3.5 in} or less ) as shown in the figure. CAUTION: When tightening section A, tighten section B securely because the engagement of the SST tab is shallow and it can come off easily.
- Tighten SST section A until the space between the bearing inner race and wheel hub component is 1-2 mm {0.04-0.07 in}.
- Temporarily loosen SST section A and position the SST again.
- Tighten SST section A and remove the bearing inner race.
Scheme 12
- Remove the wheel bearing using the SSTs.
Wheel Hub Bolt Removal Note
Note. The hub bolts do not need to be removed unless they are being replaced.
Scheme 13
- Remove the hub bolt using a press.
Scheme 14
- Install the new hub bolt using a press.
Scheme 15
Scheme 16
- Install the new wheel bearing using the SSTs.
Scheme 17
- Install the wheel hub component so that there is no clearance between the wheel hub and the bearing using the SSTs.
Scheme 18
- Install a new locknut and stake it as shown.
Scheme 19
Scheme 20
- Remove the brake calliper component and disc plate.
- Remove the wheel hub bolt using the SST as shown in the figure. NOTE: When removing the wheel hub bolts, perform the work between range A shown in the figure to assure a space for the bolt removal.
- Place a new wheel hub bolt in the wheel hub.
- Install the wheel hub by placing a proper sized washer on the hub, and tightening the nut as shown in the figure.
