(b) Shake the ball stud column several times before mount-
ing on the nut, as shown in the drawing.
(c) Rotate the nut continuously with the torsion meter at the
speed of one round each 2 to 4 seconds, read the meter
reading at the fifth round.

5. Tear down the front hub, the oil seal and the inner race
of front hub bearing (inner)
(a) Prize out the oil seal.
(b) Take out the inner race of front hub bearing (inner).
6. Inspection on and change of the outer race of front hub
bearing
(a) Check each bearing:
Wash the inner and outer races of each bearing to check
their wear or damage situation.
(b) Tear down the outer race of each bearing:
Tap out the outer bearing race with copper bar and hammer.
Notice: bind the inner and outer races of the same
bearing together to prevent from mixing.
7. Inspection and change for front brake disc
(a) Check the wear situation of the front brake disc.
(b) Tear down the bolts that connect the front wheel hub and
the front brake disc.
(c) Connect the front wheel hub and the front brake disc with
bolts, which are tightened diagonally with moment span-
ner according to the specified torque.
Fastening torque(70-80)Nm
(d) Make the dynamic balance test on the dynamic balancer,
and the amplitude value displayed should not be smaller
than 13.5g under the condition that the measuring rotat-
ing velocity is 796 r/m and the locking rotating velocity
of 786 r/m, otherwise, tap the counter balanced clip,
which is 4g each, in the corresponding position, the clip
number should not be more than 4.
(e) Tap in the new bearing outer race carefully with the
special service tool.
Notice: the inner and outer races of the same bearing
should be changed in one time.
