• Place a washer (A) as shown to install the wheel studs (1) by using

the tightening force of the nut (B).

CAUTION:

Check that there is no clearance between the wheel stud and

the wheel hub and bearing.

• Clean the mating surfaces of the wheel hub lock nut and the wheel hub and bearing.

CAUTION:

Do not apply lubricating oil to these mating surfaces.

• Clean the mating surfaces of the joint sub-assembly and the wheel

hub and bearing. Apply Molykote M77 lubricant to the surface (A)

of the joint sub-assembly.

CAUTION:

Apply lubricant to cover the entire flat mating surface of the

joint sub-assembly.

NOTE:

Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts infor-

mation.

• Hold the wheel hub and bearing using a suitable tool. Tighten the wheel hub lock nut.

CAUTION:

• Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub

lock nut. Do not use a power tool.

• Too much torque causes axle noise. Too little torque causes wheel bearing looseness. Tighten the

wheel hub lock nut to the specification.

• When installing the cotter pin (1) and the nut retainer (2), securely

bend the cotter pin to prevent rattles.

• Align the matching marks (A) on the disc brake rotor and on the
