  11. NOTE: Do not tighten the front wheel hub nut with the vehicle on the ground. The nut must be tightened to specification before the vehicle is lowered onto the wheels. Wheel bearing damage will occur if the wheel bearing is loaded with the weight of the vehicle applied.
    NOTE: Apply the brake to keep the halfshaft from rotating.

    Use the previously removed inner hub nut to seat the halfshaft.

    • Tighten to 350 Nm (258 lb-ft).
    • Remove and discard the hub nut.
  12. NOTE: The wheel hub nut contains a one-time locking chemical that is activated by the heat created when it is tightened. Install and tighten the new wheel hub nut to specification within 5 minutes of starting it on the threads. Always install a new wheel hub nut after loosening or when not tightened within the specified time or damage to the components can occur.
    NOTE: Apply the brake to keep the halfshaft from rotating.

    Install a new hub nut.

    • Tighten to 350 Nm (258 lb-ft).
  13. Install the front wheel and tire. Refer to WHEELS AND TIRES .
