3. Use special tool preload socket (MB990326) to

measure the hub rotation starting torque.

Limit: 1.5 N

⋅m

4. Hub rotation starting torque should be within the

limit value, and there should be no roughness and
gritty feeling in rotation.

Tighten the nut with
the bolt secured.

1. Use the following special tools to measure the

wheel bearing axial play:

• Spacer (MB991000)

• Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)

Limit: 0.05 mm

2. If the axial play is not within the limit range while

the nut is tightened to the specified torque, the
bearing, hub and/or knuckle have probably not
been installed correctly. Replace the bearing and
re-install.

Tightening torque: 270

CAUTION

• The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is mag-

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

• When removing and installing the driveshaft assembly, make sure that the wheel speed detection

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

• When removing and installing the front wheel speed sensor, make sure that the pole piece at the

end does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.

•

Pre-removal operation
• Engine Room Under Cover Removal (Refer to GROUP

51, Under Cover .)

• CVT fluid draining (Refer to GROUP 23A, On-vehicle

Service, CVT Fluid Change .)

Post-installation operation
• Using your fingers, press the ball joint dust cover to check

for a crack or damage.

• Engine Room Under Cover Installation (Refer to GROUP

51, Under Cover .)

• CVT fluid refilling (Refer to GROUP 23A, On-vehicle Serv-

ice, CVT Fluid Change .)

• Check the beam direction of the headlamp (Low beam)

(Refer to GROUP 54A

− Headlamp Aiming ).

The parts indicated by * are the nuts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is
no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the
specified torque.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> DRIVESHAFT NUT REMOVAL

1. The staked portion of the driveshaft nut must face

upwards.

CAUTION

• Make sure that the lock nut chisel is set in the

correct direction. Otherwise, the groove or
thread in the driveshaft may be broken, or the
tip of the chisel may be chipped.

• Never use a chisel which tip is damaged.

2. Set the special tool lock nut chisel (MB992700) in

the groove of the driveshaft with its "UPPER"
mark facing upwards. Then strike the staked
portion of the driveshaft nut with the chisel and a
hammer to raise up.

CAUTION

Be careful not to damage the thread of the drive-
shaft.

3. Raise up the staked portion of the driveshaft nut

until it does not interfere with the shaft thread.

CAUTION

• Never use a impact wrench to loosen the

driveshaft nut.

• Do not apply the vehicle weight on the wheel

bearing with the driveshaft nut loosened. Oth-
erwise, the wheel bearing may be broken.
