SERVICE POINTS OF REMOVALM2618AH
1. DISCONNECTION OF FRONT SPEED SENSORRemove the mounting bolts which hold the speed sensor
bracket to the knuckle, and then remove the speed sensor.
Caution
Be careful when handling the pole piece at the tip of the
speed sensor and the toothed edge of the rotor so asnot to damage them by striking against other parts.
3. REMOVAL OF DRIVE SHAFT NUT
Loosen the drive shaft nut while the vehicle is on the floor
with the brakes applied.
Caution
Do not apply vehicle load to the wheel bearing loosingthe drive shaft nut. If, however, vehicle load must be
applied to the bearing in moving the vehicle, temporari-
ly secure the wheel bearing by using the special tools,
MB990998-01, etc.
4. REMOVAL OF CALIPER ASSEMBLY
Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with wires.
8. DISCONNECTION OF LOWER ARM BALL JOINT
Using the special tool, disconnect the lower arm ball joint
from the knuckle.
Caution1. Be sure to tie the cord of the special tool to the
nearby part.2. Loosen the nut but do not remove it.
IO. DISCONNECTION OF TIE ROD ENDUsing the special tool, disconnect the tie rod end from the
knuckle.
Caution
1. Be sure to tie the cord of the special tool to the
nearby part.2. Loosen the nut but do not remove it.
11. REMOVAL OF DRIVE SHAFTUse the special tool to push out the drive shaft from the
front hub.
14. REMOVAL OF HUBIn the case of AWD-vehicles with A.B.S., take care not to
damage the rotor for A.B.S. installed to the B.J. outer race
when removing the hub.

bearing is then removed.
INSPECTIONM261GAC
lCheck the hub and brake disc mounting surfaces for galling
and contamination.
l Check the knuckle inner surface for galling and cracks.
l Check for defective bearing.
SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLYMZBIHAO8. INSTALLATION OF WHEEL BEARING
(1) Fill the wheel bearing with multipurpose grease.
(2) Apply a thin coating of multipurpose grease to the
knuckle and bearing contact surfaces.
(3) With the wheel bearing inner race removed, press-in
the bearing by using the special tools.
(4) Install the wheel bearing inner race to the wheel
bearing.
6. INSTALLATION OF OIL SEAL (HUB SIDE)
(1) Drive the oil seal (hub side) into the knuckle by using the
special tools until it is flush with the knuckle end
surface.
(2) Apply multipurpose grease to the lip of the oil seal and
_to the surfaces ot the 011 seal which contact the hub.d. ADJUSTMENT OF WHEEL BEARING STARTING
TORQUE
(I) Use the special tool to mount the hub assembly onto
the knuckle.
(2) Tighten the nut of the special tool to 200
- 260 Nm .(I45
- 188 ft.lbs.).
(3) Rotate the hub assembly in order to seat the bearing.llKO12

(4) Measure the wheel bearing starting torque (hub starting
torque) by using the special tools.
Limit: 1.8 Nm (16
in.lbs.) or less
NOTEThe starting torque must be within the limit and, in
addition, the bearing must not feel rough when rotated.
