  3. DISCONNECT FRONT SKID CONTROL SENSOR WIRE


    1. B006CUD

      Remove the nut and sensor clamp.

    2. B006AB5

      for LH side:


      1. Disconnect the front skid control sensor wire connector.

      2. Remove the bolt and sensor clamp.

    3. B006FOG

      for RH side:


      1. Disconnect the pad wear indicator connector.

      2. Disconnect the front skid control sensor wire connector.

      3. Remove the bolt and sensor clamp.

  4. DISCONNECT DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY


    1. for RH side:


      1. B006DWM

        Detach the guide to remove the pad wear indicator assembly.

    2. Disconnect the bolt and front flexible hose from front flexible hose bracket LH.

    3. B006ALV

      Remove the bolt and disconnect the front flexible hose bracket LH from steering knuckle LH.

    4. B0069SJ

      Remove the bolt and bracket.

    5. B006B0Z

      Loosen the bolts on the lower side of the disc brake cylinder assembly LH and remove the bolts on the top side.

      Note

      Do not excessively loosen the bolts on the lower side of the disc brake cylinder assembly LH.

    6. B0069JKN01

      Tilt the disc brake cylinder assembly LH and install SST as shown in the illustration.

      SST
      09727-00110

    7. Install SST to the No. 2 front suspension upper arm assembly LH.

      Note

      The No. 2 front suspension upper arm assembly LH may become damaged if the metal part of SST contacts it. Therefore, install it so that the metal part does not contact the No. 2 front suspension upper arm assembly LH.

    8. B006BJZ

      Remove the bolt on the lower side of the disc brake cylinder assembly LH and disconnect it.

      Note


      • Do not apply excessive force to the flexible hose.

      • If there is no looseness in the flexible hose, adjust the length of SST.

  5. REMOVE FRONT DISC LH


  6. REMOVE FRONT DISC BRAKE DUST COVER LH


    1. B0069RJ

      Remove the 3 bolts and front disc brake dust cover LH.

  7. DISCONNECT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH

      B006AB4C01
      *a SST (Spacer A) *b 1 mm (0.0394 in.)
      *c Spacer *d Center Nut
      *e Body *f Claw
      *g Parallel *h String

      Note


      • Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer A) 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.

    3. Using SST, disconnect the front lower suspension arm assembly LH from the steering knuckle assembly LH.

      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02010 )

      Note


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