FRONT AXLE HUB ASSEMBLY

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

M1261001701679

CAUTION

• 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 removing and installing the front wheel hub assembly, make sure that the 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 sensor head at the 

end does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.

• 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.

Post-installation operation
• Using your fingers, press the Ball Joint Dust Cover to 

check for a crack or damage.
