FRONT AXLE HUB BOLT REPLACEMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL

  2. SEPARATE FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY


    1. for floating type caliper


      1. Remove the 2 bolts and separate the front disc brake caliper assembly from the steering knuckle.

        Note

        Hang the front disc brake caliper assembly using a piece of string or equivalent.

    2. for opposed type caliper


      1. Remove the 2 bolts and front disc brake cylinder mounting, and then separate the front disc brake cylinder assembly from the steering knuckle.

        Note

        Hang the front disc brake cylinder assembly using a piece of string or equivalent.

      *1 Nut *2 Body
      *3 Claw *4 SST (Spacer B)
      *a Place a Wrench Here - -
      A004I9S Molybdenum Grease A004KUZ Turn
      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02010, 09961-02060 )

      CAUTION:

      Before working, apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and bolt tip of SST.

      Note


      • Install SST so that claw and body are parallel.

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

      • Do not damage the front disc brake dust cover.

      • Do not damage the front axle hub.

      • Do not damage the steering knuckle.

  5. INSTALL FRONT AXLE HUB BOLT


    1. A004HP2C03
      *1 Nut
      *2 Washer
      *3 Turn
      *4 Hold

      Set a new axle hub bolt onto the front axle hub, and tighten the nut (M12 x P1.25mm (0.0492 in.)) through the washer plate to install the axle hub bolt.

      Note

      Install the nuts to prevent damage to the front axle hub bolts.

  7. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY


    1. for floating type caliper


      1. Install the front disc brake caliper assembly to the steering knuckle with 2 new bolts.

        Torque:
        80 N*m  { 816 kgf*cm, 59 ft.*lbf }
    2. A004KRZC03
      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

      for opposed type caliper


      1. Install the front disc brake cylinder assembly and front disc brake cylinder mounting with the 2 bolts.

        Note

        When installing the front disc brake cylinder assembly and front disc brake cylinder mounting, hand-tighten the 2 bolts temporarily until they cannot be turned further, and tighten them to the specified torque.

        Torque:
        120 N*m  { 1224 kgf*cm, 89 ft.*lbf }

        Tech Tips


        • When tightening the upper bolt, use a union nut wrench.

        • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

        • When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.18 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 400 mm (15.7 in.)): 111.6 N*m (1138 kgf*cm, 82 ft.*lbf)

  8. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
    120 N*m  { 1224 kgf*cm, 89 ft.*lbf }
