E4-10 REAR AXLE AND SUSPENSION - Rear Axle Hub and Canier (FWD)
(b) Snug down the bearing by turning the hub several
times.
(c) Loosen the nut until it can be turned by hand.
NOTE: Make sure that there is absolutely no brake drag.
(d) Measure and make a note of the rotation frictional
force of the oil seal.
Oil sealfrictionalforce: Approx. rtoog (0.9 lb, 3.9 Nl
(e) Tighten the nut until the preload is within specifica-
tion.
Bearing preload (while turning):
In addition to oil seal frictional force
400 - 1,000 g (0.9 - 2.2 tb,3.9 - 9.8 Nl
(fl Insure that the drum rotates smoothly.
6. INSTALL NUT LOCK, COTTER PIN AND CAP
NOTE: lf the cotter pin hole does not line up, correct by
tightening the nut the smallest amount possible.

(c) Remove the nut.
(d) Remove the suspension support, upper insulator coil
spring, lower insulator and bumper.
8. HANDLING OF SHOCK ABSORBER
(a) Do not disassemble the shock absorber because the
cylinder is filled with gas.
(b) lf you replace a shock absorber, drill a 2.0 - 3.0 mm
(0.079 - 0.118 in.) hole in the bottom of the rep-
laced shock absorber's cylinder to completely release
the high pressure gas. ffhe gas is colorless, odorless
and not poisonous. However, when drilling, chips
may fly out so work carefully.)
(c) Handle the shock absorber carefully. Never score or
scratch the exposed part of the piston rod, and never
allow paint or oil to get on it.
(d) Do not turn the piston rod and cylinder with the
shock absorber extended completely.
