    NOTE:
    • If necessary, use a driving impact to help pull off the ball head (taps of a hammer on a copper mandrel near the ball journal). The puller should press on the fastening nut, which is still fitted but loosened (protection for thread and Torx).
  5. Pull the ball journal of the axle strut downwards and out of the wheel carrier (pull axle strut downwards while making sure not to tilt it).

  • The sensor is seated on the axle strut for vehicles with headlight beam adjustment. Disengage the strut of the sensor on the axle strut. It is not necessary to calibrate the headlight beam adjustment after these assembly procedures.
