Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Whenever a halfshaft is removed, install a new circlip and stub shaft pilot bearing seal or damage to the component may occur.
NOTE: Removal steps may contain installation details.
  1. Remove the brake disc. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE .
  2. Remove the dust cap.
    G09377911
  3. NOTE: When installing the halfshafts measure the depth of the CV shaft threaded end to the inner bearing race. The minimum depth is 15.5 mm (0.61 in). If the depth is less than 15.5 mm (0.61 in) rotate the CV shaft to clear a binding condition between the IWE  and CV splines. Installing the axle nut and tightening without the proper depth of protrusion will result in damage to the IWE  .

    Remove and discard the wheel hub nut.

    • To install, tighten the new wheel hub nut to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).
