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.

>>B<< WASHER/DRIVESHAFT NUT 
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• Because the wheel speed detection magnetic encoder 

is magnetized, it collects metallic particles easily. Make 
sure that the magnetic encoder does not collect metal-
lic 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. 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 cotter pin to fit it.

INSPECTION
