Steering Knuckle and Hub Brake Assembly
Components
Disposable parts
Steering knuckle and hub brake assembly
examination and disassembly
1. Hoist the vehicle and remove the wheels.
2. Loosen the riveted areas of the front drive shaft nut
and remove the nut.
3. Inspect the front brake disc plate surface runout.
When measuring, tighten the two wheel nuts' symmetrical
locations. The front brake disc's brake linings runout on the
two sides should be no more than 0.11 mm. If oversized,
they should be repaired or replaced.
4. Inspect front brake disc thickness.
Standard thickness: 22.0 mm
Minimum thickness: 20.0 mm
The brake disc must be changed when it reaches the minimum
level of thickness.

5. Remove the front brake caliper.
Unscrew the fastened front brake caliper's bolt to remove the
brake caliper.
Caution: Remove the front brake caliper and use wire
or similar objects to firmly secure the brake caliper.
(Avoid excessive twisting, bending, or pulling off the
brake pipeline).
6. Remove the front brake disc.
After driving the vehicle for some time, it may be hard to
remove the brake discs. In this case, screw two M8 bolts
into the removed brake disc's threaded holes (refer to the left
picture for locations), and use a wrench to alternately turns
the two bolts, thereby ejecting the brake disc.
7. Inspect the front brake disc.
Inspect the wear and tear of the front brake disc. If the
brake disc has obvious scuffing, the plate surface runout
is oversized, or its thickness is smaller than the minimum
thickness, the brake disc should be replaced.
8. Remove the front brake disc cover.
Remove the fastened brake disc cover bolts with a wrench, and
remove the front brake disc cover.
9. Remove the steering knuckle's front hub bearing and
front hub flange assembly.
Suggestion: The steering knuckle's front hub bearing and
front hub flange assembly, under normal circumstances,
should not undergo disassembly. If determined to have a
problem, it should be replaced in its entirety.
10. Inspect the steering knuckle's front hub bearing and
front hub flange assembly.
(a) Use dye penetrant to inspect the steering knuckle for
cracks, deformities, and damage. If found, replace the
part.
(b) Rotate the front hub flange and examine the bearing for
flexible rotation. Also make sure there is no appearance
of clamping.
(c) Measure the front hub flange plate surface runout.
Caution: Runout should not exceed 0.03 mm.

(d) Measure the front hub bearing's starting torque.
Put the SST on the wheel bolts which are at the symmetric
locations. Put a dial torque wrench on the SST to slowly
rotate the flange assembly (45°/4s), requiring a starting
torque range of 0.1-0.3 N·m.
If the bearing rotation is not flexible, the front hub flange
plate surface movement inaccurate, or front hub bearing
starting torque is too much. The assembly must be replaced.

1. Removal and inspection of front hub flange assembly.
(a) Use SST like a hand held travel hammer to repeatedly
hammer off the front hub flange assembly from the
steering knuckle and front hub bearing. Remove the
front hub with bearing's inner ring.
(b) Remove the bearing's inner ring on the front hub.
Use SST to remove the bearing's inner ring.

(c) Use dye penetrant to inspect the front hub flange for
cracks, which should be replaced if found.
(d) If one would like to continue using the front hub flange
assembly, first inspect the dimensions for the mounting
area of the bearing for inaccurate dimensions. If
oversized, replace.
Measurement range: Φ38+0.025 +0.009 mm
2. Remove the steering knuckle's front hub bearing.
3. Remove the snap ring for hole 72.
Use a bent nose retaining ring caliper for holes to remove the
snap ring for hole 72.

4. Replace the removed bearing's inner ring back to the
bearing's original position.
5. Press out the front hub bearing from inside of the steer-
ing knuckle.
On the press, withstand the bearing inner ring that was put
on with SST, and press out the entire front hub bearing.
Caution: The front hub bearing assembly is a disposable
part, which needs to be replaced with a new one.

6. If the steering knuckle has no cracks and one would
like to continue to use it, first inspect the bearing's
mounting location dimensions of the steering knuckle's
inner hole. If the measurements are oversized, replace
the steering knuckle.
Measurement range: Φ71-0.032 -0.062 mm
2. Press the front hub flange assembly.
On the press, press the front hub flange into the front hub
bearing mounting position using SST.

Front Brake Caliper
Components
Disposable parts
Inner and outer brake pad assembly re-
placement
Remark: When applying the brake while driving, if the front
tires makes a continuous screeching sound, inspect the inner
and outer brake pad and friction limit alarm plate. If there
are traces of rubbing from the brake disc on the alarm plate,
the inner and outer brake pad assembly should be replaced.
1. Remove the front wheel.
2. Inspect the inner and outer brake pad's friction material
thickness.
By looking through the caliper's observation ports, inspect
the inner and outer brake pad friction material thickness. If it
is no longer within the specified range, it should be replaced.

3. Remove the caliper assembly.
(a) Remove the hexagon bolt for flange face connecting
the caliper and caliper frame's lower end.
(b) Lift the caliper assembly and use a rope to hang it up to
protect the brake pipeline.
Remark: Do not unscrew the brake pipeline and bleed screw.
4. Remove the following parts.
(a) The group of inner and outer shims B.
(b) The group of inner and outer shims A.
(c) The group of inner and outer brake discs.
(d) One pair of yoke springs.
5. Measure the brake disc thickness.
(See steering knuckle and hub brake assembly examination and
disassembly step 4).
6. Measure the brake disc radial runout.
(See steering knuckle and hub brake assembly examination and
disassembly step 3).

Front brake caliper assembly installation
1. Preparations
Make sure all parts are clean and free of foreign materials
before installation.When installing, apply an appropriate
amount of rubber grease to the guide pin and piston's
working surface, as well as the rectangular sealing ring and
the piston protective cover's working surface.
2. Install the rectangular sealing ring to the caliper.
(a) Screw the bleed screw into the caliper's vent holes.
Tightening torque: 10±2 N·m
(b) After applying an appropriate amount of rubber grease
on the rectangular sealing ring's working surface, install
them into the caliper's seal groove.
3. Install the piston with piston dust cover on the caliper.
(a) Place the piston dust cover on the piston.
(b) Stretch the piston dust cover, until its card holder
exposes the bottom of the piston. Use tools (for
example, about Ф2 mm of iron wire) to assist by
stuffing the card holder into the cylinder bore card
holder's groove.
Caution: The tools being used should not be sharp, as
to avoid tearing the dust cover.
(c) Then manually press the piston into the bottom of the
cylinder bore.
4. Install the guide pin and guide pin dust cover onto the
caliper frame.
(a) Install the guide pin dust cover onto the guide pin.
(b) Screw the guide pin into the caliper frame.
Caution: Do not damage the guide pin dust cover.
5. Install an inner and outer brake pad assembly and
inner and outer muffler plate subassembly.
6. Install the brake block yoke spring plate as well as the
inner and outer brake pad assembly and inner and
outer muffler plate subassembly on the caliper frame.
