13. Remove the damper pinch bolts (A) and the self-locking nuts (B) from the damper.
NOTE: Use new damper pinch bolts and new self-
locking nuts during reassembly.
14. Remove the driveshaft outboard joint (C) from the knuckle (D) by tapping the driveshaft end (E) with a
soft face hammer while drawing the hub outward,
then remove the knuckle.
NOTE: Do not pull the driveshaft end outward. The driveshaft inboard joint may come apart.
During installation, apply grease to the mating surfaces of the wheel bearing and the driveshaft
outboard joint (see step 1 on page 16-20). 15. Remove the lock pin (A) from the lower ball joint,
then remove the castle nut (B).
NOTE: During installation, install a lock pin as
shown after tightening the new castle nut.
16. Disconnect the lower ball joint (C) from the knuckle using the ball joint thread protector and the ball
joint remover (see page 18-12).

17. Install the knuckle/hub in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
First install all of the components, and lightly tighten the bolts and the nuts, then raise the
suspension to load it with the vehicle’s weight
before fully tightening to the specified torque
values.
Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when connecting the knuckle.
Before connecting the lower ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and the
tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the ball joint
connecting hole, the threaded section, and the
mating surfaces of the castle nut.
Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to
align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not
align the castle nut by loosening it.
Use a new spindle nut during reassembly.
Before installing the spindle nut, apply a small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the
nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the
spindle nut shoulder against the driveshaft.
Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces of the front hub and the inside of the
brake disc.
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the
wheel.
18. Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary (see page 18-5). 1. Separate the hub (A) from the knuckle (B) using the
hub dis/assembly tool and a hydraulic press. Hold
the knuckle with the attachment (C) of the hydraulic
press or equivalent tool. Be careful not to damage
or deform the splash guard (D). Hold onto the hub
to keep it from falling when pressed clear.
2. Press the wheel bearing inner race (A) off of the hub (B) using the hub dis/assembly tool, a
commercially available bearing separator (C), and a
press.

3. Remove the splash guard (A) and the snap ring (B)
from the knuckle (C).
4. Press the wheel bearing (A) out of the knuckle (B) using the attachment, the driver handle, and a
press. 5. Wash the knuckle and the hub thoroughly in high
flash point solvent before reassembly.
6. Press a new wheel bearing (A) into the knuckle (B) using the old bearing (C), a steel plate (D), the
attachment, the support base, and a press.
NOTE: Install the wheel bearing with the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder (E) (brown color)
toward the inside of the knuckle.
Remove any oil, grease, dust, metal debris, and other foreign material from the encoder surface.
Keep all magnetic tools away from the encoder surface.
Be careful not to damage the encoder surface when you insert the wheel bearing.
