Steering knuckle assembly removal

1.  Preparation

First, remove the front wheel, the front shock absorber with 

coil spring assembly, and the steering knuckle coupling 

bolt in turn. For detailed steps, please refer to the removal 

of the wheel and the front shock absorber with coil spring 

assembly. 

2.  Remove propeller shaft nuts

(a)  First, pry the flattened areas of the propeller shaft's nuts 

into a circle with a chisel. 

(b)  Half-insert a long bolt or metal bar into the brake disc 

holes to loosen the nuts (shown on the left).

Tightening torque: 225±20 N·m

Front Suspension

Components

(c)  Pull out the mount point on the steering knuckle to 

separate it from the mounting bracket under the front 

shock absorber. Prop a wood stick or metal bar against 

the propeller shaft's outer end, and then hammer the 

stick or metal bar to get the propeller shaft out of the 

hub (shown on the left).

Caution: When hammering, prop it up against the shaft 

end's location holes (middle recess). Be sure not to 

damage the thread.
