REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> DRIVESHAFT NUT REMOVAL

CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub 
assembly with the driveshaft nut loosened. Otherwise, the 
wheel bearing will be broken.
Use special tool MB990767 to fix the hub and remove the 
driveshaft nut.

.

<<B>> CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

1. Remove the caliper assembly with brake hose.
2. Secure the removed caliper assembly with a wire or other 

similar material at a position where it will not interfere with 
the removal and installation of the rear wheel hub assembly.

.

<<C>> REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

1. If the rear wheel hub assembly is seized with the rear 

driveshaft assembly, use special tools MB990242 and 
MB990244, MB991354 and MB990767 to push the rear 
driveshaft assembly out from the hub and then remove the 
rear wheel hub assembly.

2. If the rear wheel hub assembly is seized with the knuckle, 

use special tools MB990211 and MB990241 {combination 
(A)}, or MB990211 and MB991354 {combination (B)} to 
remove the rear wheel hub assembly.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< WASHER/DRIVESHAFT NUT INSTALLA-
TION

CAUTION

• The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, 

because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic 
encoder does 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 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. Incorporate the driveshaft washer as shown in the figure.
2. Use special tool MB990767 to tighten the driveshaft nuts. At 

this time, tighten the nuts within the specified torque range 
considering the final tightening.

Tightening torque: 144 

− 176 N⋅m (107 − 129 ft-lb)

3. If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the 

driveshaft nut [less than 200 N

⋅m (147 ft-lb)] and find the 

nearest hole then bend the split ping to fit it.
