C: DISASSEMBLY
Using the ST and a hydraulic press, push out the
hub bolts.
ST 28399AG000 HUB STAND
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to hammer the hub bolts. This
may deform the hub.
•Do not reuse the hub bolt.
NOTE:
Since the hub unit bearing can not be disassem-
bled, only hub bolts can be removed.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Attach the hub to the ST securely.
ST28099PA080 HUB STAND
2) Using a press, press the new hub bolts until their
seating surfaces contact the hub.
NOTE:
Use the 12 mm (0.47 in) dia. holes in the HUB
STAND to prevent bolts from tilting.
E: INSPECTION
1) Moving the rear 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 hub bearing if the play exceeds
the limit value.
Service limit:
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
