First dispose of the front wheel before extracting the grease cap by using a screwdriver followed by a hammer strike. An assessment of the front axle hub bearing requires front disc
Brake Caliper and front disc removal before inspection. The dial indicator should measure axle hub backlash at the center while it remains less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.). If the measurement exceeds this limit, change the bearing. A dial indicator should be used to evaluate the axle hub deviation at the surface which requires bearing replacement if the measurement exceeds 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.). Reinstall the front disc with 2 bolts that need to be tightened to 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 90 ft-lbf). The
Drive Shaft needs disconnection for front-wheel drive models by removing the lock cap and cotter pin. Braking down the vehicle allows lock nut removal. Users should disconnect ABS speed sensor connections along with wire harness clamp from
Steering Knuckle by removing two bolts. Break the procedure by first detaching the steering knuckle's bolt and brake line clamp then remove the 2 brake caliper-disc securing bolts. Secure the brake caliper and support it properly without damaging the brake tube. The next step involves removing the
Shock Absorber followed by disconnecting the lower
Ball Joint with its lower ball joint dust cover protector by taking out 4 bolts. The process starts with removing the pin and loose nut before disassembling the steering knuckle using Special Service Tool: 09950-40011(09951-04010, 09952-04010, 09553-04020, 09554-04010, 09955-04031, 09958-04011) and completing the procedure with nut removal and steering knuckle separation while protecting the oil seal and drive shaft boot. Additionally, a plastic hammer may be used to facilitate the disconnection if required.
