Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 6
- REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Refer to REMOVAL [07/2020 - 05/2023]
- DISCONNECT FRONT SKID CONTROL SENSOR WIRE
- DISCONNECT DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY LH
- for RH side:
Disconnect the bolt and front flexible hose from front flexible hose bracket LH.
Remove the bolt and front flexible hose bracket LH from steering knuckle LH.
Loosen the bolts on the lower side of the disc brake cylinder assembly LH and remove the bolts on the top side.
NOTE:Do not excessively loosen the bolts on the lower side of the disc brake cylinder assembly LH.
- Tilt the disc brake cylinder assembly LH and install SST as shown in the illustration.
- SST: 09727-00110
- Install SST to the No. 2 front suspension upper arm assembly LH.NOTE:
The No. 2 front suspension upper arm assembly LH may become damaged if the metal part of SST contacts it. Therefore, install it so that the metal part does not contact the No. 2 front suspension upper arm assembly LH.
- Remove the bolt on the lower side of the disc brake cylinder assembly LH and disconnect it.NOTE:
- Do not apply excessive force to the flexible hose.
- If there is no looseness in the flexible hose, adjust the length of SST.
- REMOVE FRONT DISC LH
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 7
- REMOVE FRONT DISC BRAKE DUST COVER LH
- DISCONNECT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 15
- DISCONNECT FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH
Remove the clip and nut.
- Install 2 SST (spacer A) onto the front lower suspension arm assembly LH so that there is a space of approximately 1 mm (0.0394 in.) between the arm and spacers.
- SST: 09960-20010
- 09961-02050
*a SST (Spacer A) *b 1 mm (0.0394 in.) *c Spacer *d Center Nut *e Body *f Claw *g Parallel *h String NOTE:- Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer A) as the steering knuckle spacer may shift.
- As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or less.
- SST: 09960-20010
- Using SST, disconnect the front lower suspension arm assembly LH from the steering knuckle assembly LH.
- SST: 09960-20010
- 09961-02010
NOTE:- Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of SST bolt.
- Do not damage the dust cover.
- As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and claw are parallel.
- Make sure to tie the string of SST to the vehicle to prevent SST from dropping.
- SST: 09960-20010
