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-581692-S13766259402013101400000).) (Scheme 3): Exploded View Of Wheel Hub And Steering Knuckle Related Components With Torque Specification
Brake Caliper Component Removal Note
- Remove the brake caliper component and suspend it out of the way using a cable.
Nut (Lower Arm) Removal Note
| WARNING | If the stud bolt of the front knuckle is loosened when removing the front lower arm outer nut, replace the stud bolt with a new one. If the stud bolt is reused, it could fall off while driving, resulting in serious injury or death, and damage to the vehicle. |
