assembly

Wheel
bearing

CAUTION

• The wheel speed detection 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 drive shaft, make sure 

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

• Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear 

wheel hub assembly before fully tightening 
the driveshaft nuts. Otherwise, the wheel 
bearing will be broken.

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: 160 

± 16 Nm

4. After tightening to the specified torque, check that 

the nut is seated securely.

5. Use the chisel and a hammer to stake the nut until 

the centre in the staked portion reaches the 
shown dimension.

6. Finally, check that the nut is not cracked at its 

staked portion.

4. Use the following special tools to measure the 

hub rotation starting torque.

• Preload socket (MB990326)

• Torque wrench (MB990685)

Limit: 1.4 N

m

5. If the hub rotation starting torque at the specified 

tightening torque (270 

± 27 N⋅m) exceeds the 

limit, replace the hub. If there are rough or gritty 
feelings in rotation, replace the hub.

6. Set a dial gauge, and move the hub in the axial 

direction to measure the looseness in the wheel 
bearing.

Limit: 0.05 mm

7. If the wheel bearing looseness at the specified 

tightening torque (270 

± 27 N⋅m) exceeds the 

limit, replace the hub.

lation ).

• Disconnect joint between the upper arm and the trailing 

arm. (Refer to GROUP 34

− Control Link, Upper Arm, 

Lower Arm Removal and Installation ).

Post-installation operation
• Connect the upper arm and the trailing arm. (Refer to 

GROUP 34 

− Control Link, Upper Arm, Lower Arm 

Removal and Installation ).

• Connect the lower arm, trailing arm, shock absorber, and 

stabilizer link. (Refer to GROUP 34

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> DRIVESHAFT NUT REMOVAL

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.

For how to use the lock nut chisel, refer to the 
manufacturer's operating instructions.

1. 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.

2. 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.
