CAUTION:
- Do not reuse wheel stud.
- Check that there is no clearance between wheel stud and wheel hub and bearing.
On 4WD models:
1. Clean mating surfaces of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub and bearing.
  CAUTION: Do not apply lubricating oil to these mating surfaces.
2. Hold wheel hub and bearing using suitable tool. Tighten wheel hub lock nut. Refer to Exploded View .
  CAUTION:
  - Do not reuse wheel hub lock nut.
  - Since drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use a torque wrench to tighten wheel hub lock nut. Do not use a power tool.
  - Too much torque causes axle noise. Too little torque causes wheel bearing looseness.
3. Install cotter pin. Securely bend cotter pin to prevent rattles.
  CAUTION: Do not reuse cotter pin.
Installation of remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
