Clean mating surfaces of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub and bearing.
CAUTION: Do not apply lubricating oil to these mating surfaces.
Hold wheel hub and bearing using a suitable tool. Tighten wheel hub lock nut.
CAUTION:
- 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.
When installing cotter pin (1) and nut retainer (2), securely bend cotter pin to prevent rattles.
