WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Raise the vehicle on a lift (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
- Remove the rear brake drum (see REAR BRAKE DRUM REPLACEMENT ).
- Separate the wheel bolt (A) from the hub (B) using the ball joint remover (C), and keep the jaw (D) of ball joint remover vertical against the wheel bolt (see BALL JOINT REMOVAL
).NOTE:
- If the angle of the remover against the wheel bolt is not square, readjust the ball joint remover by turning the head (E) of the adjusting bolt (F).
- Before installing the new wheel bolt, clean the mating surfaces on the bolt and the hub.
- Insert the new wheel bolt (A) into the hub (B) while aligning the splined surfaces (C) on the hub hole with the wheel bolt. Adjust the measurement (D) with the washers (P/N 94101-12800 or equivalent) (E), then install a nut (P/N 90304-SC2-000 or equivalent) (F) hand-tight.NOTE:
- Degrease the area around the wheel bolt and the threaded section of the nut.
- Make sure the wheel bolt is installed vertically in relation to the hub disc surface.
- Do not install the nut and washers that have been used as tools on a vehicle.
- Tighten the nut until the wheel bolt is drawn fully into the hub. Do not exceed the maximum torque limit. Make sure there is no gap (G) between the bolt and the hub.
Limited torque: 108 N.m (11.0 kgf.m, 80 lbf.ft) max.
- Install the rear brake drum (see
REAR BRAKE DRUM REPLACEMENT
).NOTE:
- If you cannot tighten the wheel nut to the specified torque value when installing the wheel, replace the rear hub bearing unit as an assembly.
- Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel.
