*The hub assembly is not repairable; if de-
fective, replacement is the only option. If the
hub is removed for any reason it must be re-
placed.
1. Raise and support vehicle safely.
2. Remove the both of the rear wheels.
3. Remove the caliper and the brake disc. Sup-
port the caliper with wire to prevent stress to the /
brake hose.
4. If equipped with ABS, remove the bolt hold-
ing the speed sensor to the trailing arm and remove
the sensor.
*The speed sensor has a pole piece project-
ing from it. This exposed tip must be pro-
tected from impact or scratches. Do not al-
low the pole piece to contact the toothed
wheel during removal or installation.
5. Remove the grease cap, self-locking nut and
tongued washer.
*Do not use an air gun to remove the hub
locknut.
6. Remove the rear hub assembly from the spin-
dle.
7. Remove the bolts that secure the ABS sensor
ring to the hub and remove the ring from the hub.
To install: 8. Secure the sensor ring to the hub assembly
and tighten the mounting bolts.
9. Install the hub assembly, tongued washer
and a new self-locking nut. Tighten the nut to 166 ft.
Ibs. (230 Nm), align with the indentation in the spin-
dle, and crimp.
IO. Using a rope around the hub bolts and a
spring balance, measure the resistance necessary to
rotate the hub. If the resistance exceeds 7 ft. Ibs. (IO
Nm), loosen and retighten the locknut. If the resis-
tance still exceeds the specification, the hub must be
replaced.
11. Using a dial indicator, measure the hub end-
play. The endplay should be 0.002 inches (0.05mm)
or less.
12. Install the brake rotor and caliper assembly.
13. Install the speed sensor to the knuckle.
*Route the speed sensor cable correctly.
Improper installation may cause cable dam-
age and system failure. Use the white stripe
on the outer insulation to keep the sensor
harness properly positioned.
14. Use a brass or other non-magnetic feeler
gauge to check the air gap between the tip of the pole
piece and the toothed wheel. Correct gap is
0.008-0.028 in (0.2-0.7mm). Tighten the sensor
bracket nut with the sensor located so the gap is the
same at several points on the toothed wheel. If the
gap is incorrect, it is likely that the toothed wheel is
worn or improperly installed.
15. Bleed the brake system and install the rear
wheels.
