Brake Drum: Installation

  1. NOTE: When tightening the new wheel hub nut, rotate the brake drum counterclockwise until the correct torque is achieved or damage to the wheel bearing may occur.
    NOTE: Avoid impact on the wheel speed sensor ring and any contact between the sensor ring and a magnetic surface or damage to the sensor ring may occur. Make sure the wheel speed sensor ring is clean or sensor failure may occur.
    NOTE: A new wheel hub nut must be installed or incorrect clamp load may occur resulting in wheel bearing failure.

    Position the brake drum and wheel hub assembly and install a new wheel hub nut.

    • While rotating the brake drum in the opposite direction, tighten the wheel hub nut to 235 Nm (173 lb-ft).
  2. NOTE: A new dust cap must be installed or bearing failure may occur.

    Install a new dust cap.
