 INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
  • When assembling the shaft, never press it, but pull it until fully seated by tightening the wheel hub lock nut.
    • Check that anticorrosive oil is applied to the thread of the drive shaft. If not, apply appropriate oil such as engine oil.
    • If sufficient oil is not applied to the thread of the drive shaft, the wheel hub lock nut may be seized and the tightening torque reaches the specified limit prematurely. It may cause looseness or abnormal noises.
  • Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and axle housing.
  • Never reuse cotter pin, ball seal and bushing.
