Locknut Installation Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mazda CX-30. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- When installing the locknut, install it manually without using an electric or pneumatic tool. Otherwise, the locknut may seize and the tightening force of the wheel hub may decrease and cause excessive play or abnormal noise.
- When installing the locknut, do not apply load at the ground to the axle. Otherwise, it could damage the wheel hub.
- If dust or grease is on the drive shaft thread area, wipe it off with a cloth.
- Working with two people, one should depress and hold the pedal down.
- While the brake pedal is depressed, the other should tighten the locknut using the following procedure.
