1. Install the NEW wheel mounting stud in the flange of hub from the rear.
2. Install several washers (3) and a standard wheel mounting (lug) nut (2) on the stud. Install the mounting nut so that the flat side of the nut is against the washers to eliminate any binding.
3. Tighten the wheel mounting nut (2). This will pull the wheel mounting stud into the hub flange. When the head of the stud is fully seated against the rear of the hub flange, remove the wheel mounting nut and washers.
4. Install the brake rotor and all components previously removed to access it. (Refer to BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR - INSTALLATION) .
