- Use a suitable tool to prevent the flange on the hub assembly from rotating.
- Tighten the wheel nut (1) until the wheel bolt is fully seated.
- Remove the wheel nut (1) and flat washers (2).
- Using the CH-42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange.

NOTE:
Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminates should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake pulsation.
CAUTION:
