CAUTION:
Do not pull on wheel sensor harness.
5. Loosen steering outer socket (1) nut.
6. Remove steering outer socket (1) from steering knuckle (2) so
as not to damage ball joint (3) boot using ball joint remover or
suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily leave the outer socket nut installed to prevent
damage to threads and to prevent the ball joint remover or
suitable tool from suddenly coming off.
7. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
8. Remove cotter pin, then loosen hub lock nut using power tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily leave the hub lock nut installed to prevent damage to threads.
9. Separate the drive shaft from the wheel hub and bearing assem-
bly by lightly tapping the end of the drive shaft using a hammer
or suitable tool, and then remove hub lock nut.
NOTE:
Use a suitable puller if wheel hub and bearing assembly and
drive shaft cannot be separated after performing the above pro-
cedure.
10. Remove the drive shaft from the wheel hub and bearing assem-
bly and support the drive shaft.
CAUTION:
Do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint when
removing from the wheel hub and bearing assembly,

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Wheel Hub and Knuckle Inspection
Check for any deformity, cracks, or other damage on the wheel hub assembly and knuckle, replace if neces-
sary.
CAUTION:
The wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
Growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation.
Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-14, "
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL" transverse link and PS-14, "INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEM-
BLY" steering outer socket ball joint.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when remov-
ing wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckle. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2,
"Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”"
.
When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
align the marks.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-28, "
DISC
ROTOR INSPECTION" .)
