How to service and repair the wheel bearing on 2002 Toyota Celica?

Question

Accepted Answer

First service the wheel bearing by removing the front wheel while applying 103 Nm of torque along with 1,050 kgf-cm and 76 ft. lbs. torque values. Start by disassembling the brake caliper and disc while uninstalling the two bolts followed by proper support of the brake caliper during service and repair evaluation. Check the backlash at the axle hub center with a dial indicator exempting it from exceeding 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch). Replace the bearing if the specified limit is reached. The measurement of surface deviation should occur outside the hub bolt on the axle hub and must remain below 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch) or the hub needs replacement. Reinstall the disc together with the 2 bolts while tightening the brake caliper to 107 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.). The drive shaft lock nut can be unstaked using Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 maintained with hammer hits until the nut is free. A torque wrench should be used with brake application to remove the nut at 216 Nm (2,200 kgf-cm, 159 ft. lbs.). Securely support the brake caliper before you remove both the brake caliper and disc. Remove the ABS speed sensor of vehicles with ABS through a torque application of 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 inch lbs.). Tighten the 2 shock absorber lower-side nuts with 153 Nm (1,560 kgf-cm, 113 ft. lbs.) torque but do not fully loose these connections. The procedure to disconnect the tie rod end from the steering knuckle involves removing the cotter pin and nut while applying torque of 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.); in case holes are not aligned for new cotter pin installation the process involves tightening the nut to 60 degrees. You should use Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 to detach the tie rod end from the steering knuckle. The lower suspension arm detachment from the lower ball joint requires a torque of 142 Nm (1,450 kgf-cm, 105 ft. lbs.) to remove the 2 nuts and bolt. Detach the steering knuckle with axle hub by unbolting the lower shock absorber's two bolts and nuts while protecting the boot as well as ABS speed sensor rotor from damage. After completing installation the procedure should be reversed and the ABS speed sensor signal along with front wheel alignment needs to be checked.
