Installation

Front axle exploded view-4WD:

INSTALLATION
Mount rotor on hub with matching marks aligned and torque bolts to specification. 49-69 Nm (36-51 ft lb)

HUB INSTALLATION - 4WD
Install hub assembly and adjust wheel bearing preload as follows:
1. Before adjustment thoroughly clean all parts to prevent dirt entry.
2 Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:
^ Threaded portion of spindle
^ Contact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer wheel bearing
^ Grease seal lip

Hub Grease Points:

^ Wheel hub (as shown)

Tightening Bearing Lock Nut:

3. Tighten wheel bearing lock nut.
78 - 98 Nm (8 - 10 kg-m, 58 - 72 ft-lb)
4. Turn wheel hub several times in both directions.
5. Loosen wheel bearing lock nut so that torque becomes:
0 Nm (0 kg-m, 0 ft-lb).
6. Retighten wheel bearing lock nut.
0.5 - 1.5 Nm (0.05 - 0.15 kg-m, 0.4 - 1.1 ft-lb)
7. Turn wheel hub several times in both directions.
8. Retighten wheel bearing lock nut with Tool.
0.5 - 1.5 Nm (0.05 - 0.15 kg-m, 0.4 - 1.1 ft-lb)

Measure Axial End Play:

9. Measure wheel bearing axial end play.
Axial end play: 0 mm (0 in)

Starting Force "A":

10. Measure starting force "A" at wheel hub bolt.

Installing Lock Washer:

11 Install lock washer by lightening the lock nut within 15 to 30 degrees.
12. Turn wheel hub several times in both directions to seat wheel bearing correctly.
13. Measure starting force "B" at wheel hub bolt. Refer to procedure 10.
14. Wheel bearing preload "C" can be calculated as shown below:
C = B-A
Wheel bearing preload "C":
7.06 - 20.99 N (1.59 - 4.72 lb)
15 Repeat above procedures until correct axial end play and wheel bearing preload are obtained.
