1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands
in the proper locations (see page 1-11).
2. Remove the rear brake disc (see page 19-34).
3. Separate the wheel bolt (A) from the hub (B) using the ball joint remover (C), and keep the jaw (D) of
ball joint remover vertical against the wheel bolt
(see page 18-12).
NOTE: If the angle of the remover against the wheel bolt is not square, readjust the ball joint remover by
turning the head (E) of the adjusting bolt (F).
Before installing the new wheel bolt, clean the mating surfaces on the bolt and the hub. 4. Insert the new wheel bolt (A) into the hub (B) while
aligning the splined surfaces (C) on the hub hole
with the wheel bolt. Adjust the measurement (D)
with washers (P/N 94101-12800 or equivalent) (E),
then install a nut (P/N 90304-SC2-000 or equivalent)
(F) hand-tight.
NOTE: Degrease all around the wheel bolt and the threaded section of the nut.
Make sure the wheel bolt is installed vertically in relation to the hub disc surface.
Do not install the nut and washers that have been used as tools on a vehicle.
5. Tighten the nut until the wheel bolt is drawn fully into the hub. Do not exceed the maximum torque
limit. Make sure there is no gap (G) between the
bolt and the hub.
6. Install the rear brake disc (see page 19-34). NOTE: If you cannot tighten the wheel nut to the specified torque value when installing the wheel,
replace the rear hub bearing unit as an assembly.
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the
wheel.

Ball joint remover, 28 mm 07MAC-SL0A202
Always use a ball joint remover to disconnect a ball
joint. Do not strike the housing or any other part of
the ball joint connection to disconnect it.
1. Install a hex nut (A) or the ball joint thread protector onto the threads of the ball joint (B).
NOTE: Using a hex nut, make sure the nut is flush
with the ball joint pin end to prevent damage to the
threaded end of the ball joint pin.
2. Apply grease to the ball joint remover on the areas shown (A). This will ease the installation of the tool,
and prevent damage to the pressure bolt (B)
threads. 3. Loosen the pressure bolt (A), and install the ball
joint remover as shown. Insert the jaws carefully,
making sure not to damage the ball joint boot.
Adjust the jaw spacing by turning the adjusting bolt
(B).
NOTE: Fasten the safety chain (C) securely to a
suspension arm or the subframe (D). Do not fasten
it to a brake line or wire harness.
4. After adjusting the adjusting bolt, make sure the head of the adjusting bolt is in the position shown
to allow the jaw (E) to pivot.
5. With a wrench, tighten the pressure bolt until the ball joint pin pops loose from the ball joint
connecting hole. If necessary, apply penetrating
type lubricant to loosen the ball joint pin.
NOTE: Do not use pneumatic or electric tools on
the pressure bolt.
6. Remove the ball joint remover, then remove the nut from the end of the ball joint pin, and pull the
ball joint out of the ball joint connecting hole.
Inspect the ball joint boot, and replace it if
damaged.

1. Check the ball joint boot for weakness, damage, cracks, and grease leaks.
NOTE: If the ball joint boot is damaged with grease leaks, replace the appropriate part as an assembly.
If the ball joint boot is soft and cracked without grease leaks, go to step 2. Replace the
appropriate ball joint boot.
2. Disconnect the appropriate ball joint connection, and remove the component including the ball joint.
The lower ball joint (see page 18-20).
3. Remove the boot.
4. Pack the interior and lip (A) of a new boot with grease. Keep the grease off of the boot-to-lower
ball joint housing mating surfaces (B).
5. Pack fresh grease into the base (C). Do not let dirt or other foreign materials get into the boot.
6. Install the boot on the ball joint, then squeeze it gently to force out any air, then wipe the grease off
the tapered portion of the ball joint pin (D). 7. Press the boot with the attachment until the bottom
seats on the lower ball joint housing (A) all the way
around.
8. After installing a boot, wipe any grease off the
exposed portion of the ball joint pin.
9. Install all of the removed parts.
