• Q: How to service and repair the Front Wheel Hub Sub-Assy LH on 2005 Toyota Corolla?

  A: Initialization of Front Wheel Hub Sub-Assy LH repairs requires users first to use Special Service Tool 09930-00010 for front wheel and front wheel hub LH nut removal. The front stabilizer link assembly LH along with the speed sensor front LH (with ABS) and front disc brake caliper assembly LH should be separated by unbolting them from the steering knuckle using two bolts for removal. First remove the front disc alongside the Special Service Tool called 09628-62011 for the tie rod end sub-assembly LH as well as the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH. Separate the front drive shaft assembly LH from the wheel hub using a plastic hammer before taking off the front wheel assembly LH but avoid damaging boot or speed sensor rotor during the process. Disassemble the front wheel assembly LH by rotating off the two bolts and two nuts and then free the lower ball joint assembly front LH through cotter pin and nut removal powered by Special Service Tool: 09628-62011. Utilize snap ring pliers to remove the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring followed by removing the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH using Special Service Tool 09520-00031 and then remove the inner hub bearing race from the hub sub-assembly LH using Special Service Tool 09950-40011 and its companion tools 09951-04020, and others. Remove the front wheel hub LH bearing by placing the inner race on the outer race followed by usage of Special Service Tool: 09223-15020, 09950-60010 (09951-00640), 09950-70010 (09951-07100, 09387-02010) and a press stand. Advance through these procedures to install the new hub LH bearing to the steering knuckle by using Special Service Tools: 09950-60020 (09951-00720), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) with a press followed by the dust cover front LH installation with three bolts torqued to 8.3 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 73 inch lbs.). The installation of front wheel hub sub-assembly LH requires Special Service Tools: 09608-32010, 09950-60010 (09951-00600), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press for hub sub-assembly installation followed by a new LH hole snap ring installation with snap ring pliers. Fitting the lower ball joint assembly front LH requires tightening the nut to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) and installing a new cotter pin while making sure the holes align properly or continuing to tighten the nut to 60 degrees. Use gentle force to push outward the front wheel assembly LH while aligning its spline part with the drive shaft assembly before insertion provided that both the outboard joint boot of the drive shaft and speed sensor rotor remain free from damage. Secure the front wheel assembly with two bolts to the shock absorber through two nuts by using engine oil on the screw parts of nuts and torquing them to 153 Nm (1,560 kgf-cm, 113 ft. lbs.). Connect the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH as well as the tie rod end sub-assembly LH and front stabilizer link assembly LH to the front disc and front disc brake caliper assembly LH while torquing the caliper assembly bolts to 107 Nm (1,089 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.). A new hub LH nut needs installation using a 30 mm socket wrench then proper torquing up to 216 Nm (2,203 kgf-cm, 159 ft. lbs.). After applying the hammer and chisel to stake the LH nut, the process finishes with the front wheel installation at 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Examine and correct the front wheel alignment together with an ABS speed sensor signal inspection (when ABS is present).
