Question 1

How to replace the Front Wheel Hub Sub-Assembly LH on Toyota Highlander?

Accepted Answer

Initiating Front Wheel Hub Sub-Assembly LH replacement requires front wheel removal along with the front wheel hub LH nut after unstaking its lock nut with Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 using a hammer while applying brake pressure to eliminate the lock nut. The speed sensor front LH requires its bolt removal together with wire disconnection from the shock absorber and flexible hose detachment before disconnecting the sensor bolt from the steering knuckle. The front disc brake caliper assembly LH requires its removal through the disconnection of 2 respective bolts. Disconnect the tie rod assembly LH after removing its front disc. Separate this component by taking out both the cotter pin and nut while employing Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to complete tie rod end detachment from the steering knuckle. Remove the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH by taking out its bolt and two nuts before employing a plastic hammer on the front wheel assembly LH to divide the drive shaft from the wheel hub without damaging the boot and ABS speed sensor rotor and then removing the two bolts, nuts, and steering knuckle with the wheel hub. To disconnect the front LH lower ball joint assembly remove its cotter pin and nut by employing Special Service Tool: 09628-62011. A screwdriver should be used to remove the front wheel bearing dust deflector No.1 LH after which a snap ring plier helps extract the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring. To uninstall the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH use Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 to remove the wheel hub followed by Special Service Tool: 09950-00020, 09950-60010 (09951-00410), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press to discard the inner race (outside). Use a T30 Torx wrench to eliminate the 4 bolts on the front LH disc brake dust cover. After removing these bolts, take out the cover from the system. For the front wheel hub LH bearing, place the inner race (outside) on the bearing and press it until it contacts Special Service Tools: 09527-17011, 09950-60010 (09951-00600) and 09950-70010 (09951-07100) while keeping the steering knuckle horizontally positioned. Use Special Service Tool: 09950-60020 (09951-00680) and 09950-70010 (09951-07100) along with a press to install the new bearing to the steering knuckle before securing the dust cover with torx wrench (T30)-tightened 4 bolts. Use Special Service Tool: 09608-32010, 09950-60020 (09951-00680) combined with 09950-70010 (09951-07100) while using a press to install the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH before installing a new snap ring with a snap ring plier. Position the front wheel bearing dust deflector No.1 LH into the appropriate ABS speed sensor holes by using Special Service Tool: 09316-60011 (09316-00011, 09316-00031) together with Special Service Tool: 09608-32010 and a hammer. Securely install the front LH lower ball joint assembly while adjusting its nut to 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 90 ft. lbs.) and then establish it with a new cotter pin. Insert and tighten the front wheel assembly LH by securing the 2 bolts and nuts and wheel assembly to the shock absorber with a torque of 210 Nm (2,143 kgf-cm, 155 ft. lbs.). Implement the bolt from the front side of the vehicle while fitting the spline part of the drive shaft assembly to the front wheel assembly. First insert ball joint and lower arm with a bolt and two nuts before tightening them to 127 Nm (1,300 kgf-cm, 94 ft. lbs.). Afterwards install the tie rod assembly LH with new hardware by nuts and cotter pins, torquing to 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). Use 2 bolts to reinstall the front disc coupled with the front disc brake caliper assembly LH before torquing them to 106.9 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.). The last step involves installing the speed sensor front LH followed by the front wheel application with a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Next, check front wheel alignment and monitor the ABS speed sensor signal performance.

Question 2

How to service and repair the front Wheel Hub on Toyota Highlander?

Accepted Answer

Initiate front wheel hub repair procedures by conducting an on-car inspection through dial indicator measurements of wheel hub looseness at its central point while maintaining the tool at a right angle to the surface; if the reading shows more than 0 mm (0 in.) looseness replace the bearing. The replacement criterion for a wheel hub becomes necessary when its surface runout measurement reaches 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) outside the bolt hole area. Begin by removing the front wheel followed by unstaking the lock nut using Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 while applying breaks. To separate the speed sensor front LH requires removal of the bolt then unconnecting the sensor wire and flexible hose from the shock absorber and disconnecting the front disc brake caliper assembly LH through removal of its 2 bolts. Remove the front disc after using Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to disconnect the tie rod end sub-assembly LH. Separate the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH by removing the bolt and 2 nuts followed by removing the front wheel assembly LH through drive shaft and wheel hub marking and careful plastic hammer application which should be done without damaging the boot and speed sensor rotor. Start the disassembly phase by employing Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to remove the lower ball joint assembly front LH and follow this step by taking off the front wheel bearing dust deflector No.1 LH with a screwdriver then finish off with snaps ring pliers to detach the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring. A "torx" wrench (T30) will be used to separate the disc brake dust cover front LH as the first step after using Special Service Tool: 09520-00031, 09950-00020, 09950-60010 (09951-00430), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press to remove the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH. Reinstallation requires installation of the front wheel hub LH bearing with Special Service Tool: 09608-32010, 09950-60020 (09951-00810), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press followed by disc brake dust cover front LH installation with a "torx" wrench (T30). When installing the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH use the same special tools with a press then follow by installing the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring with snap ring pliers followed by the front wheel bearing dust deflector No.1 LH with Special Service Tools 09316-60011 (09316-00011, 09316-00031), 09608-32010 and a hammer. The installation of the front LH lower ball joint assembly requires tightening the nut to 123 N m (1,250 kgf cm, 90 ft. lbf) followed by installation of a new cotter pin. Fix the drive shaft assembly LH to the front wheel assembly LH by aligning the matchmarks then fasten it with 2 bolts and nuts to the shock absorber at 230 N m (2,345 kgf cm, 170 ft. lbf). You should use two nuts and a bolt to connect the lower suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH before fixing the tie rod end sub-assembly LH to the steering knuckle through a nut which needs a torque of 49 N m (500 kgf cm, 36 ft. lbf) along with a new cotter pin. The front disc installation demands a 107 N m (1,090 kgf cm, 79 ft. lbf) torque on its 2 bolts for fastening with the front disc brake caliper assembly LH. Reconnect the speed sensor front LH by attaching the sensor wire and flexible hose to the shock absorber with 19 N m (192 kgf cm, 14 ft. lbf) and by fastening the speed sensor to the steering knuckle with 8.0 N m [82 kgf cm, 71 in. lbf). Tighten the front wheel with 103 N m (1,050 kgf cm, 76 ft. lbf) torque and perform inspections of front wheel alignment and ABS speed sensor signal.
