Start wheel bearing servicing by taking off the front wheel from the vehicle. Vehicles with ABS require removal of the 2 bolts connecting the ABS speed sensor wire harness clamp to the steering knuckle. Disconnection of the
Brake Caliper commences after removing the 2 bolts while securely supporting the component. Measure the backlash of the bearing shaft direction with a dial indicator after removing the grease cap using a screwdriver; replace the axle hub bearing when the measurement reaches more than 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch). Start by extracting the axle hub with the disc through a process that includes removing the cotter pin and lock cap followed by using a 30 mm socket wrench to take off the nut before separating the claw washer along with outer bearing and axle hub with disc from the steering knuckle with extreme caution regarding the outer bearing drop. A screwdriver can be used to remove the oil seal while protecting the ABS speed sensor rotor. Extract the inner bearing from the axle hub. The installation begins by removing 4 dust cover bolts and thereafter breaking the stabilizer bar link with tool assistance then disassembling the nut followed by five retainers and a collar with four cushions and bolt components. Before separation place a jack under the lower suspension arm and remove its two lower
Ball Joint set bolts and cotter pin and nut. Use Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to disconnect the steering knuckle from the upper ball joint before you remove the 2 lower ball joint set bolts, the nut and steering knuckle while keeping the jack in position. To install the part you should first support the lower suspension arm with a jack before placing the steering knuckle onto the lower ball joint and temporarily securing it with the 2 bolts. After pushing down the upper suspension arm to join the upper ball joint with the steering knuckle fasten the nut while torquing it to 110 Nm (1,100 kgf-cm, 80 ft. lbs.) then install a new cotter pin and tighten the nut an extra 60 degrees when the cotter pin holes are misaligned. Place the dust cover onto its mounting bracket and bolt it in with 4 fasteners at 8.3 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.). Position the stabilizer bar link onto the bolt from which you will mount five retainers and a collar and four cushions and a new nut. Apply MP grease into your palm to stuff it within the bearing until the product leaks out through the opposing side while making sure to completely cover the complete bearing surface. Apply MP grease inside the hub chamber and cap before inserting the inner bearing into the axle hub. The procedure for installing a new oil seal into the axle hub requires Special Service Tools: 09527-17011, 09950-60020 (09951-00710), 09950-70010 (09951-07150) and a hammer while being careful to avoid damaging the ABS speed sensor rotor and applying MP grease to the oil seal lip. The spindle should receive the axle hub along with a new outer bearing which has a claw washer. Adjust the preload through several steps using a spring tension gauge and the specified value of frictional force plus 6-18 N (0.6-1.8 kgf, 1.3-4.0 lbs.). Begin by installing the nut to 34 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.), turn the hub several times to achieve smoothness, loosen the nut until hand-turning is possible and measure the frictional force of the oil seal. Ensure the preload stays within the specified value. After achieving the desired preload you must use a dial indicator to check bearing shaft backlash while making sure the measurement stays below 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch). Position the lock cap followed by a fresh cotter pin and apply an additional 60 degrees of torque on the nut only if you encounter misalignment of the holes. Finish by securing the grease cap. The brake caliper should be installed with its two bolts torqued to 108 Nm (1,100 kgf-cm, 80 ft. lbs.) followed by attaching vehicles with ABS through the ABS speed sensor and wire harness clamp using two bolts torqued to 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 inch lbs.). The front wheel installation requires a torque of 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.) before testing the brake pedal multiple times and inspecting the wheel alignment along with validating the ABS speed sensor signal.
