    DISCONNECT STEERING KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY LH (for 2WD)


    1. B004X46C01
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Jack

      Support the lower No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH using a jack and wooden block.

    2. B004SRV

      Remove the 2 clips and 2 nuts.

    3. B004TEFC01
      *a SST (Spacer B) *b 1 mm (0.0394 in.)
      *c Spacer *d Center Nut
      *e Body *f Claw
      *g Parallel *h String

      Install 2 SST (spacer B) onto the front upper No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH so that there is a space of approximately 1 mm (0.0394 in.) between the arm and spacers.

      09960-20010 09961-02060
      Note:

      • Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer B) as the steering knuckle spacer may shift.

      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or less.

    4. Using SST, disconnect the steering knuckle assembly LH from the front upper No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH.

      09960-20010 09961-02010
      Note:

      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.

      • Do not damage the dust cover.

      • As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and claw are parallel.

      • Make sure to tie the string of SST to the vehicle to prevent SST from dropping.
