Removal and Installation
CAUTION:
Before removing the front axle assembly, disconnect the ABS
wheel sensor from the assembly. Then move it away from the
front axle assembly area. Failure to do so may result in dam-
age to the sensor wires and the sensor becoming inoperative.
1. Remove free-running hub assembly.
Refer to FRONT AXLE Ð Auto-lock or Manual-lock Free-run-
ning Hub.
2. Remove brake caliper assembly.
Brake hose need not be disconnected from brake caliper.
In this case, suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to
stretch brake hose.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal, or piston will pop out.
Make sure brake hose is not twisted.
3. Remove ABS sensor.
4. Remove lock washer.
5. Remove wheel bearing lock nut with Tool.
6. Remove wheel hub and wheel bearing.
Be careful not to drop outer bearing.
7. After installing wheel hub and wheel bearing, adjust wheel
bearing preload.
Refer to ``Front Wheel Bearing'', ``ON-VEHICLE SERVICE'',
