Install wheel hub by reversing removal procedure noting
the following instructions.
• Insert new wheel stud bolt in wheel hub hole and rotate it slowly to assure serrations are aligned with
those made by replaced bolt.
• Never apply grease to encoder (1).
• Install new rear axle nut (1) and tighten to specified torque.
CAUTION!
Never reuse rear axle nut. Otherwise, nut may
loosen.

Tightening torque
Rear axle nut (a): 175 N·m (17.5 kgf-m, 126.5 lb-ft) • Caulk new rear axle nut (1) as shown.
CAUTION!
Take care while staking nut. If a split occurs
in staked area of nut,
replace it with new one.

Stake specification

General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS7RS0B3101001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.
