WHEEL HUB COMPONENT 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, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and fix it to an appropriate place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle. |
- Remove in the order indicated in (Scheme 50).
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
- After installation, inspect rear wheel alignment. (See «REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT»(ref-244483-S31637353352006092400000).)
