>>A<< Washer/Rear Driveshaft Nut Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CAUTION:

The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic encoder should not collect metallic particles. Check that there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.
When installing the rear driveshaft, make sure that it does not contact with the magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.
Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel bearing before fully tightening the rear driveshaft nut. Otherwise, the rear wheel bearing may be broken.

Be sure to install the rear driveshaft washer in the illustrated direction.
Using special tool MB990767, tighten the rear driveshaft nut. At this time, tighten the nut to the specified lower limit torque so that the pin hole may align with cotter pin.
Tightening torque: 144 - 176 N.m (107 - 129 ft-lb)
If the pin hole does not align with the pin, tighten the driveshaft nut [less than 176 N.m (129 ft-lb)] and find the nearest hole, then fit the cotter pin.
