Wheel
bearing

The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles 

easily, because it is magnetized. Make sure 
that the magnetic encoder should not collect 
metallic particles. Check that there is not any 
trouble prior to reassembling it.

• When installing the driveshaft, make sure that 

it does not contact with the magnetic encoder 
(integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid 
damage.

• Do not apply the vehicle weight on the wheel 

bearing before fully tightening the driveshaft 
nut. Otherwise, the wheel bearing may be bro-
ken.

• Insert the driveshaft so that no hub bolt is ver-

tically above the groove of the driveshaft 
assembly.

1. Check the hub seated surface for damage or 

corrosion. Whenever solvent is used for removing 
the corrosion, the surface should be degreased.

2. Check that the new driveshaft nut can be turned 

smoothly by hand. Then tighten it until it is seated.

3. Using special tool front hub and flange yoke 

holder (MB990767), tighten the driveshaft nut.

Tightening torque: 270 

± 27 N⋅m

4. After tightening to the specified torque, check that 

the nut is seated securely.
