REAR AXLE HUB REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When the brake pedal is depressed with a large clearance between the brake pads and the brake disc, DTCs C1341, C1342, C1343 and/or C1344 related to abnormal brake fluid pressure may be stored. Make sure to clear the DTCs after performing this step.
