1. Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.

2. Grip each front tire at the top and bottom, and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting the weight of the tire off the front wheel bearings.
3. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the spindle, does not rotate freely, or has a rough feeling when spun, carry out one of the following.
On vehicles with inner and outer bearings, inspect the bearings and races for wear or damage. Adjust or install new bearing and races as necessary.
4. Check the hub for cracks and the splines for wear.
5. Check the brake disc for scoring and damage.
6. Check the knuckle for cracks.
7. Check the bearing for cracks or damage.

REASSEMBLY
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the contacting surface of the knuckle hub and bearing thinly.

2. Using the Special Tool (09532-11500), press-in the bearing to the knuckle.

NOTE:
Press-in the outer race of the wheel bearing to prevent damage to the bearing assembly.
When installing a bearing assembly, always use a new one.
The right and the left bearing must be made in the same company.

6. Tighten the hub and the knuckle to the specified torque using the Special Tool (09517-21500).
Specified torque Nm (kgf-cm, ft. Lbs.) 200 - 260 (2000 - 2600, 159 - 192)

pic 16

7. Measure the hub bearing starting torque.
Hub bearing starting torque [Limit 1.8 Nm (18 kgf-cm, 16 inch lbs.) Or less

pic 17

8. If the starting torque is 0 Ncm (0 inch lbs.), Measure the hub bearing axial play.
9. If the hub axial play exceeds the limit while the nut is tightened to 200 - 260 Nm (2000 - 2600 kgf-cm, 159 - 192 ft. Lbs.), The bearing, hub and knuckle are not installed correctly. Repeat the disassembly and assembly procedure.
Hub bearing axial play [Limit] 0.008 mm (0.0003 inch) or less
10. Remove the Special Tool.
11. Fix the brake disc with the mounting screws.
