GENERAL INFORMATION
REAR AXLE27-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1271000100304
The rear axle has the following features:
•The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing
(double-row angular contact ball bearing) which
incorporates the oil seals and is highly resistant
to a thrust load.•ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is
press-fitted to the rear hub in vehicles with ABS.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECKM1271000900452
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the
caliper assembly with a wire and remove the
brake disc.
2. Check the bearing's axial play. Place a dial gauge
against the hub surface; then move the hub in the
axial direction and check whether or not there is
axial play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
3. If the play exceeds the limit, the self-locking nut
should be tightened to the specified torque and
check the axial play again.
Tightening torque: 175 ± 25 N⋅m
4. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment
cannot be made to within the limit.
REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING
RESISTANCE CHECK
M1271001100244
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the
caliper assembly with a wire and remove the
brake disc.
2. Turn the hub a few times to seat the bearing.3. Wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub
by pulling at a 90° angle with a spring balance.
Measure to determine whether or not the
rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the
limit value.
Limit: 19 N
4. If limit value is exceeded, loosen the self-locking
nut and then tighten it to the specified torque and
check the rear hub rotary sliding resistance again.
Tightening torque: 175 ± 25 N⋅m
5. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment
cannot be made to within the limit.
HUB BOLT REPLACEMENTM1271001000258
1. Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with
wire so that it does not fall.
2. Remove the brake disc.
3. Use special tool hub bolt remover (MB991618) to
remove the hub bolts.
4. Install the plain washer to the new hub bolt, and
install the bolt with a nut while holding the hub
with special tool end yoke holder (MB990767).
5. Install the brake disc, caliper assembly and
tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the
specified torque 60 ± 5 N⋅m.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
>>A<< ABS ROTOR INSTALLATION
CAUTION
When installing, take care not to deform the ABS
rotor.
Press-fit the ABS rotor to the rear hub assembly.
>>B<< SELF-LOCKING NUT
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Before securely tightening the self-locking nuts,
make sure there is no load on the wheel
bearings. Otherwise the wheel bearing will be
damaged.
Tighten the self-locking nut to the specified torque.
INSPECTIONM1271002100258
•Check the rear hub assembly for crack or
damage.
