  5. Rotate hub to seat bearing. Using an INCH-lb. torque wrench, measure hub starting torque. See Fig 1. Starting torque should be 12 INCH lbs. (1.3 N.m) or less on all models except Sonata. On Sonata, starting torque should be 16 INCH lbs. (1.8 N.m) or less.
  6. Using dial indicator, move hub in and out and measure axial play. Check assembly procedure if movement exceeds specification. See WHEEL BEARING  under ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION. Remove hub remover/installer.
