• Q: How to replace a Wheel Stud on the rear axle LH hub on 2005 Toyota Matrix?

  A: Begin the replacement of rear axle LH wheel stud by taking off the rear wheel followed by disconnecting the rear disc brake caliper assembly (LH) with removal of the rear disc. Users need to separate rear stabilizer link assembly LH first then remove the rear axle shaft LH nut which requires Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 to finish removing the rear brake drum sub-assembly. The speed sensor rear LH should be separated followed by removal of the parking brake shoe strut set LH using Special Service Tools: 09718-00010 and 09703-30010 before taking out the front brake shoe. The next step requires removal of the rear brake automatic adjust lever LH followed by the rear brake shoe before proceeding to separate the parking brake cable assembly No. 3 and the rear brake tube No. 4 using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100. Work by separating the rear suspension arm assembly No. 1 LH then follow this with the upper control arm assembly along with the removal of the axle assembly RR LH and the rear wheel bearing dust deflector No. 1 LH and the rear axle hub & bearing assembly LH. Separate the 2WD drive types by removing the rear axle LH wheel stud through the utilization of Special Service Tool: 09628-10011 along with a hammer handle or equivalent. 4WD drive types need a press tool to extract the LH wheel stud. Installation of the rear axle LH wheel stud for 2WD requires a washer and nut on a new LH wheel stud before using a hammer handle or equivalent to stabilize the hub & bearing assembly for nut tightening. A press fixture with an extension bar helps properly install the new LH wheel stud for 4WD drive systems. Reinstall the rear axle hub & bearing assembly LH together with the rear wheel bearing dust deflector No. 1 LH through the use of Special Service Tools: 09608-10010, 09950-60020 (09951-00680), and 09950-70010 (09951-07100) while maintaining temporary tightness on the upper control arm assembly before installing the axle assembly RR LH. Connect the parking brake cable assembly No. 3 at this time while also installing the rear brake tube No. 4 and briefly tightening the rear suspension arm assembly No. 1 LH. The maintenance worker must first apply high-temperature grease before installing the rear brake shoe and the rear brake automatic adjust lever LH, the front brake shoe along with the parking brake shoe strut set LH. Examine the speed sensor rear left-hand side and confirm rear brake drum assembly correctness before attaching the rear brake drum assembly. The rear drum brake shoe clearance requires adjustment after installing the rear axle shaft LH nut and removing the rear brake drum sub-assembly. Inspecting bearing backlash and axle hub deviation is necessary before reinstallation of the rear brake drum sub-assembly. The service technician must install the rear axle shaft LH nut along with the rear stabilizer link assembly LH while also bleaching the brake line and installing the rear disc and rear disc brake caliper assembly (LH). To complete the installation sequence place the rear wheel with a prescribed torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). After stabilization check the fluid level in the reservoir before inspecting and adjusting the rear wheel alignment while verifying the ABS speed sensor signal. Fully tighten the upper control arm assembly and the rear suspension arm assembly No. 1 LH.
