1) Assemble the front hub unit bearing.
DS-20, ASSEMBLY, Front Hub Unit Bearing.>
2) Place the disc cover between front housing and
front hub unit, and tighten the four bolts.
Tightening torque:
65 N·m (6.6 kgf-m, 47.9 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
•Do not get closer the tool which charged
magnetism to magnetic encoder.
•Be careful not to damage the magnetic en-
coder.
E: INSPECTION
1) Moving the front tire up and down by hand,
check there is no backlash in bearing, and check
the wheel rotates smoothly.
2) Inspect the lean of axis direction using a dial
gauge. Replace the bearing if the load range ex-
ceeds the limitation.
