special tool. |
5. |
Remove the special tool and dust
cover. |
6. |
Remove the bearing inner race from the hub by
using the special tool(09495-33000).

|
7. |
Using the special tool (09495-33100,
09517-29000), remove the wheel bearing outer race from the
knuckle.

|
1. |
Check the hub for cracks and the splines for
wear. |
2. |
Check the brake disc for scoring and
damage. |
3. |
Check the knuckle for
cracks. |
4. |
Check the bearing for cracks or
damage. |
1. |
Apply multi-purpose grease to the contacting
surface of the knuckle hub and bearing
thinly. |
2. |
Using the special tools (09495-33100,
09517-29000), press-in the bearing to the knuckle.
1. |
Press-in the outer race of the
wheel bearing to prevent damage to the bearing
assembly. |
2. |
When installing a bearing
assembly, always use a new
one. | |

|
3. |
Install the dust
cover. |
4. |
Using the special tool (09495-33100), press-in

disc. |
6. |
Tighten the hub and the knuckle to the
specified torque by using the special tool
(09517-21500).
Specified
torque Nm (kgf•cm, lbf•ft)
2.0L : 200~260 (2000~2600,
148~192)
2.7L : 200~280 (2000~2800,
148~207)
|

|
7. |
Rotate the hub several times to seat the
bearing. |
8. |
Measure the hub bearing starting
torque.
Hub bearing
starting torque [Limit]
1.8 Nm (18 kgf•cm, 1.33 lbf•ft) or
less
|

|
9. |
If the starting torque is 0 Nm (0 kgf•cm, 0
lbf•ft), measure the hub bearing axial play.

|
10. |
If the hub axial play exceeds the limit while
the nut is tightened to 200~260 Nm (2000~2600Kgf•cm, 148~192
lbf•ft), the bearing, hub and knuckle are not installed correctly.
Repeat the disassembly and assemblyprocedure.
Hub bearing
axial play [Limit]
0.008 mm (0.0003 in.) or
less
| |
11. |
Remove the special tool
(09517-21500). | |
