2005 CHRYSLER CARAVAN steering wheel

WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS -
FRONT
REMOVAL
NOTE: Before proceeding, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES -
WARNING)(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - CAUTION).
CAUTION: Wheel mounting studs MUST NOT be
hammered out of hub flange of hub and bearing
assembly. If a stud is removed by hammering it out,
damage to hub and bearing assembly will occur
leading to premature bearing failure.
(1) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(2) Remove front wheel and tire assembly. (Refer
to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS - REMOVAL)
(3) Remove two adapter mounting bolts securing
disc brake caliper adapter to steering knuckle (Fig.
33).
(4) Remove disc brake caliper and adapter as
assembly from steering knuckle (Fig. 33). Hang
assembly out of way using wire or a bungee cord.
Use care not to overextend brake hose when doing
this.
(5) Remove brake rotor from hub by pulling it
straight off wheel mounting studs (Fig. 33).(6) On wheel mounting stud to be removed, install
a wheel mounting (lug) nut far enough so the threads
on the stud are even with end of nut. Install
Remover, Special Tool C-4150A, on hub and bearing
flange and wheel stud (Fig. 34).
(7) Tighten down on Remover, pushing wheel stud
out of hub flange. Once shoulder of wheel stud is
past flange, remove special tool. Remove nut from
stud and remove stud from hub flange.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install replacement wheel stud into flange of
hub and bearing from rear. Install washers on wheel
stud, then install a standard type wheel mounting
(lug) nut on stud with flat side of lug nut against
washers as shown (Fig. 35).
(2) Tighten nut, pulling wheel stud into hub
flange. Once head of stud is fully seated against rear
of hub flange, remove nut and washers from stud.
(3) Install brake rotor back on hub and bearing
(Fig. 33).
(4) Install brake caliper and adapter back over
brake rotor aligning adapter with mounting holes on
steering knuckle (Fig. 33).
(5) Install two adapter mounting bolts securing
adapter to steering knuckle. Tighten mounting bolts
to 169 N´m (125 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Install wheel and tire assembly. Tighten wheel
mounting (lug) nuts in proper sequence to 135 N´m
(100 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Lower vehicle.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: If a wheel attaching stud needs to be
replaced in the hub and bearing assembly the studs
MUST NOT be hammered out of the hub flange. If a
stud is removed by hammering it out of the bearing
flange, damage to the hub and bearing assembly
will occur leading to premature hub and bearing
failure.
(1) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in Lubrication
and Maintenance.
(2) Remove the rear wheel and tire assembly.
(3) Remove the brake drum or disc brake caliper
and rotor. Refer to Brakes.
(4) Install a lug nut on the wheel stud to be
removed from the hub and bearing assembly (Fig. 36)
so the threads on stud are even with end of lug nut.
Install Remover, Special Tool C-4150A on hub and
bearing assembly flange and wheel stud (Fig. 36).
(5)
Tightening down on special tool will push wheel
stud out of the hub and bearing assembly flange.
(6) Remove lug nut from stud and remove wheel
stud from flange.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install replacement wheel stud into flange of
hub and bearing assembly. Install washers on wheelstud, then install a wheel lug nut on stud with flat
side of lug nut against washers (Fig. 37).
(2) Tighten the wheel lug nut, pulling the wheel
stud into the flange of the hub and bearing assembly.
When the head of the stud is fully seated against the
bearing flange, remove lug nut and washers from
wheel stud.
(3) Install the brake drum or disc brake rotor and
caliper on the hub and bearing assembly.
(4) Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.
Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper
sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specifica-
tion. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full
specified torque of 135 N´m (100 ft. lbs.).
(5) Lower vehicle to the ground.

If any of the remaining OCS components of the
passenger side front seat cushion require replace-
ment, they are serviced only as a factory-calibrated,
assembled, and tamper-evident service replacement
package. This package includes the assembled frame,
springs, pad, bladder, sensor, foam, wiring and a cal-
ibrated OCM. When installing this package, always
replace all of the existing components with the new
components as a unit. Do not attempt to separate or
disconnect any of the new OCS components con-
tained in the service replacement package from each
other, and do not attempt to reuse any of the
replaced components in this or any other vehicle.
Once any of the original factory-installed compo-
nents except the OCM have been replaced with the
service replacement package components, the OCM
can only be serviced by replacing the entire passen-
ger side front seat cushion unit with another com-
plete service replacement package. (Refer to 23 -

INSTALLATION
A non-calibrated Occupant Classification Module
(OCM) is the only component of the Occupant Clas-
sification System (OCS) that is available for separate
service replacement, as outlined in the procedures
that follow. The OCS components of the passenger
side front seat cushion including the cushion frame,
springs, pad, occupant detection bladder, pressure
sensor, seat cushion foam and the OCM are a factory-
calibrated and assembled unit. Once this unit is con-
nected to a vehicle electrically, the calibration
settings are uploaded from the OCM and stored in
the memory of the Airbag Control Module (ACM). If
only the OCM is subsequently replaced, the new,
non-calibrated OCM learns the proper calibration
settings from the ACM after it is connected to the
vehicle electrically.
If any of the remaining OCS components of the
passenger side front seat cushion require replace-
ment, they are serviced only as a factory-calibrated,
assembled, and tamper-evident service replacement
package. This package includes the assembled frame,
springs, pad, bladder, sensor, foam, wiring and a cal-
ibrated OCM. When installing this package, always
replace all of the existing components with the new
components as a unit. Do not attempt to separate or
disconnect any of the new OCS components con-
tained in the service replacement package from each
other, and do not attempt to reuse any of the
replaced components in this or any other vehicle.
Once any of the original factory-installed compo-
nents except the OCM have been replaced with the
service replacement package components, the OCM
can only be serviced by replacing the entire passen-
ger side front seat cushion unit with another com-plete service replacement package. (Refer to 23 -
BODY/SEATS/SEAT CUSHION - FRONT -
REMOVAL).
