4. Reset the dial gauge to the position shown, and
measure the radial runout.
5. If the wheel runout is not within the specification, check the wheel bearing end play (see page 18-9),
and make sure the mating surfaces on the brake
disc and the inside of the wheel are clean.
6. If the bearing end play is within the specification but the wheel runout is more than the service limit,
replace the wheel. Ball joint remover, 28 mm 07MAC-SL0A202
 Do not use a hammer or impact tools (pneumaticor electric) to remove and install the wheel bolts.
 Be careful not to damage the threads of the wheel bolts.
1. Remove the front hub (see page 18-15).
2. Separate the wheel bolt (A) from the hub (B) using a hydraulic press. Support the hub with hydraulic
press attachments (C) or equivalent tools.
NOTE: Before installing the new wheel bolt, clean
the mating surfaces, on the bolt and the hub.
3. Insert the new wheel bolt into the hub while aligning the splined surfaces on the hub hole with
the wheel bolt.
NOTE: Degrease all around the wheel bolt.
 Make sure the wheel bolt is installed vertically in relation to the hub disc surface.
4. Install the wheel bolt using a hydraulic press until the wheel bolt shoulder is fully seated.
5. Install the front hub (see page 18-15). NOTE: If you cannot tighten the wheel nut to the
specified torque value when installing the wheel,
replace the front hub as an assembly.

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.

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.
