• Place a washer (A) as shown in the figure to install the hub bolts

(1) by using the tightening force of the nut (B).

CAUTION:

• Check that there is no clearance between wheel hub assem-

bly, and hub bolt. 

• Never reuse hub bolt.

• Never reuse steering knuckle and transverse link fixing nut.

• Clean the matching surface of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub

assembly.

CAUTION:

Never apply lubricating oil to these matching surface.

• Clean the matching surface of drive shaft, wheel hub assembly.

And then apply paste [service parts (440037S000)] to surface (A)

of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.

CAUTION:

Apply paste to cover entire flat surface of joint sub-assembly

of drive shaft.

• Use the following torque range for tightening the wheel hub lock nut.

CAUTION:

• Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel

hub lock nut.

• Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.

• Never reuse wheel hub lock nut.

NOTE:

Wheel hub lock nut tightening torque does not over torque for avoiding axle noise, and does not less than

torque for avoiding looseness.

• Align the matching marks that have been made during removal when reusing the disc rotor.

• When installing a cotter pin (1) and adjusting cap (2), securely
