Use Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 to remove the FRONT WHEEL HUB LH NUT before disconnecting the Speed Sensor front LH and removing the front disc brake caliper assembly LH by eliminating its two bolts while sustaining it through support to protect the flexible hose. Use Special Service Tool: 09628-00011 to disconnect the tie rod end sub-assembly LH while removing the front disc by ensuring no lubricant contamination on its friction surfaces and proceeding to separate the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH. Use a plastic hammer on the front wheel assembly LH to detach its drive shaft from the wheel hub while protecting the boot and speed sensor rotor followed by removing the 2 bolts and 2 nuts and the steering knuckle from the Shock Absorber. To detach the lower Ball Joint assembly front LH you must first remove its cotter pin and nut before using Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to remove the ball joint. Recover the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring through snap ring pliers while using Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 to extract the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH from the steering knuckle positioned under light force in a soft vise. To extract the bearing inner race located outside of the wheel hub sub-assembly you must use a combination of tools including Special Service Tool: 09950-40011 (09951-04020, 09952-04010, 09953-04030, 09954-04010, 09955-04061, 09957-04010, 09958-04010) 09950-60010 and 09951-00370.

Complete the installation with a new cotter pin that must fit properly between the holes. The front wheel assembly LH must be installed by connecting the drive shaft assembly LH with the steering knuckle through the shock absorber using two bolts and two nuts and torque to 240 Nm (2,447 kgf-cm, 177 ft. lbs.) with engine oil on screw parts if reusing bolts and nuts. After installing the lower front suspension arm sub-assembly No.1 LH the front stabilizer link assembly LH and tie rod end sub-assembly LH it is necessary to install the front disc brake caliper assembly LH and front disc LH while torquing the caliper bolts to 107 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.).
