discard bearing.
14. Clean relevant parts.

1. NOTE : Th
e gap between the ears of the circlip must be
positioned so that it is in the lowest position of the bore when the
vertical link is installed on the vehicle. Refer to General
Procedures for further information.
Install outboard circlip in vertical link.

2. Using a h y
draulic press, instal
l bearing in vertical link.
1. Position vertical link on the press bed with outboard
side of the vertical link face down.
2. Position wheel bearing on vertical link.
3. Position special tool on top of wheel bearing.
4. Operate press to install the bearing, applying a three- ton seating load to ensure bearing is fully seated.

3. CAUTIO
N: To prevent damage to the integral bearing
seal, select circlip plier ends th at do not protrude through the
circlip ears.
4. NOTE : Th
e gap between the ears of the circlip must be
positioned at the lowest point of the bore, when the vertical link is
installed on the vehicl e. Refer to General Procedures for further
information.
