GENERAL

OUTLINE OF CHANGE

The service procedure of the rear axle has been established to correspond to the adoption of the disc
brakes.

REAR AXLE HUB

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Caution
1.

The rear hub unit bearing should not be dismantled. When removing the rear hub assembly,
the wheel bearing inner race may be left at the spindle side. In this case, always replace the
rear hub assembly, otherwise the hub will damage the oil seal, causing oil leaks or excessive
play.

2.

Care must be taken not to scratch or otherwise damage the teeth of the ABS rotor. The ABS
rotor must never be dropped. If the teeth of the ABS rotor are chipped, resulting in a deformation
of the ABS rotor, it will not be able to accurately detect the wheel rotation speed, and the
system will not function normally.
