INSTALL FRONT DISC
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Matchmark
  
  Align the matchmarks and install the front disc.
  
  Note
  
  When replacing the disc with a new one, select the installation position where the front disc has minimal runout.

2. Using a socket wrench (30 mm), install a new front axle hub shaft nut.
  
  Torque:
  
  294 N*m { 2998 kgf*cm, 217 ft.*lbf }
  
  Note
  
  Stake the nut after inspecting for looseness and runout in the following steps.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Keep depressing the brake pedal to prevent the front drive shaft from rotating.
SEPARATE FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the 2 bolts and separate the front disc brake caliper assembly.
  
  Note
  
  Use wire or an equivalent tool to keep the brake caliper from hanging down by the flexible hose.
REMOVE FRONT DISC
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Matchmark
  
  Remove the front disc.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Put matchmarks on the disc and the axle hub.
INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS
1. Using a dial indicator, check for looseness near the center of the front axle hub.
  
  Maximum looseness
  
  0 mm (0 in.)
  Note
  
  Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.
  
  Keep the magnet of the dial indicator away from the front speed sensor.
  Tech Tips
  
  If the looseness exceeds the maximum, replace the front axle hub bearing.
INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB RUNOUT
1. Using a dial indicator, check for runout on the surface of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
  
  Maximum runout
  
  0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
  Note
  
  Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.
  
  Keep the magnet of the dial indicator away from the front speed sensor.
  Tech Tips
  
  If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the front axle hub.
INSTALL FRONT DISC
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Matchmark
