FRONT WHEEL HUB AND KNUCKLE

3. Remove wheel bearing inner race (outer side) from wheel hub,

using Tools.

4. Remove snap ring from steering knuckle, using suitable tool.

CAUTION:

Do not damage steering knuckle.

5. Remove wheel bearing using Tool from steering knuckle.

ASSEMBLY

1. Install wheel bearing to steering knuckle, using the Tool (A) and

a suitable tool (B).

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse wheel bearing.

• Do not apply a cleaning agent or anticorrosive to the

mounting surface of the wheel bearing of steering

knuckle.

• Install wheel bearing with the wheel sensor rotor rubber

part (C) faced to the steering knuckle inner side.

• The wheel sensor rotor of the wheel bearing must be kept

free of foreign matter.

• The press-fit load must be applied to the wheel bearing outer race and the steering knuckle.

• Do not apply press-fit load to the wheel bearing inner race, the seal (C) on the rubber surface

side (wheel sensor rotor side), and the seal (D) on the metallic surface side. If a press-fit load is

applied, the wheel bearing must be replaced with a new one.

• Wheel bearing press-fit load must be 49 kN (5,000 kg-f, 11,015 lb-f).

2. Install snap ring to steering knuckle.

CAUTION:

• Do not damage the wheel bearing seal.

• The snap ring must be installed evenly into the groove.

3. Press splash guard (1) into the steering knuckle using suitable

tools (A and B).

CAUTION:

Do not reuse splash guard.

4. Install wheel hub, using Tools.

CAUTION:

• Do not apply lubricating oil to the press-fit surface of the

wheel hub bearing.

• Set wheel hub and wheel bearing horizontally and insert

them vertically.

• The press-fit load must be applied to the wheel hub and

the wheel bearing inner race.

• Do not apply press-fit load to the steering knuckle and the wheel bearing, the seal. If a press-fit

load is applied, the wheel bearing must be replaced with a new one.

• Apply a press-fit load of 49 kN (5,000 kg-f, 11,015 lb-f) and maintain the loaded state for 30 sec-

onds.

• If the inserted wheel hub is removed again, the wheel bearing must be replaced with a new one.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009268299

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check the following items, and replace the part if necessary.

• Check components for deformation, cracks, and other damage.

• Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial end play, and swing

torque. Refer to 

FSU-6, "Inspection and Adjustment"

 and 

ST-15, "Inspection"

.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Wheel Hub

• Check wheel hub for cracks (with magnetic exploration or dye testing). Replace if necessary.

Steering Knuckle

• Check steering knuckle for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace if any non-standard conditions

are found.

Snap Rings

• Check snap ring for wear or cracks. Replace if necessary.

INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY

Check wheel bearing rotating torque as per the following instructions.

NOTE:

The adequacy of turning torque can be judged from a measurement value by a spring balancer.
1. For a proper fit of the bearing, turn the wheel hub both clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively, 10

times or more with a press-fit load of 34,300 - 49,000 N (3,500 - 4,998 kg-f, 7,710 - 11,015 lb-f) applied.

2. Set a spring balance on strut mounting hole (upper). Measure

rotating torque at an rpm of 8 - 12 rpm.

• If the turning torque cannot be obtained by the above method,

measure the torque, according to the instructions below.

- Install drive shaft and tighten the hub lock nut to the specified

torque. Rotate the wheel hub to fit properly.

- Set a spring balancer to the hub bolt and measure turning torque

at turning speeds of 8 to 12 rpm.
