>> B << Driveshaft Nut Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- The wheel speed detection 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 driveshaft, make sure that it does not contact with the wheel speed detection magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.
- Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub assembly before fully tightening the driveshaft nuts. Otherwise, the wheel bearing will be broken.
- Check the hub seated surface for damage or corrosion. Whenever solvent is used for removing the corrosion, the surface should be degreased.
- Check that the new driveshaft nut can be turned smoothly by hand. Then tighten it until it is seated.
- Using special tool front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767), tighten the driveshaft nut.
Tightening torque: 270 ± 27 N.m (199 ± 19 ft-lb)
- After tightening to the specified torque, check that the nut is seated securely.
- Use the chisel and a hammer to stake the nut until the center in the staked portion reaches the dimension shown in the figure.
- Finally, check that the nut is not cracked at its staked portion.
