HUB REMOVAL
 CAUTION
When the hub has been removed, always replace the wheel bearing
with a new part because wheel bearing frictional surface will be damaged when removing the hub.
|
|
Use the following special tools to pull out the hub from the knuckle.
- Knuckle arm bridge (MB991056 or MB991355)
- Front hub remover and Installer (MB991017)
|

WHEEL BEARING REMOVAL
|
|
- Crush the oil seal in two places so that the tabs of the special tool will be caught on
the wheel bearing inner race (outside).
|
|  CAUTION
When removing the inner race (outside) from the hub,
be careful not to let the hub drop.
|
|
- Remove the wheel bearing inner race (outside) from the front hub by using special tool
side bearing puller (MB990810).
|
|
- Install the inner race (outside) that was removed from the hub to the wheel bearing, and
then use the following special tools to remove the wheel bearing.
- Installer adapter (MB990935)
- Knuckle arm bridge (MB991056 or MB991355)

WHEEL BEARING INSTALLATION
- Fill the wheel bearing with multipurpose grease.
- Apply a thin coating of multipurpose grease to the knuckle and bearing contact surfaces.
 CAUTION
Press the outer race when pressing-in the wheel bearing.
Otherwise the wheel bearing will be damaged.
|
|
- Press-in the bearing by using the following special tools.
- Rear suspension bushing arbor (MB990883)
- Rear suspension bushing base (MB990890)
|

HUB STARTING TORQUE CHECK
|
|
- Tighten the following special tools to the specified torque, and then press-in the hub
into the knuckle.
- Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)
- Rotate the hub in order to seat the bearing.
|
|
- Measure the hub starting torque by using the following special tools.
- Preload socket (MB990326)
Limit: 1.8 N·m
- The starting torque must be within the limit and the hub rotation must be smooth.
|
| |
| >>C<<
WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK
|
|
- Measure to determine whether the wheel bearing axial play is within the limit or not by
using the following special tools.
- Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)
Limit: 0.05 mm
- If the play is not within the limit range while the nut is tightened to 245 ±
29
N·m, the bearing, hub and/or knuckle have probably not been installed correctly.
Replace the bearing and re-install.
