Installation

1. Install the hub/bearing on the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint. Align the hub/bearing with its 3 mounting bolts and hand start the bolts in to the flange of the hub/bearing. Equally tighten the 3 mounting bolts pulling the hub/bearing onto the stub shaft and into the knuckle. Continue to tighten the 3 mounting bolts equally until the caliper adapter and hub bearing are squarely seated on the knuckle. Tighten the 3 mounting bolts to a torque of 110 Nm (80 ft. lbs.).





2. Install the stub axle to hub/bearing retaining nut. Snug the retaining nut at this time but do not attempt to tighten it to the required torque specification.
3. Install the brake rotor on the hub bearing.





4. Install the disc brake caliper on the caliper adapter, reversing the removal procedure.





5. Install the disc brake caliper to caliper adapter mounting bolts. Tighten the mounting bolts to a torque of 55 Nm (40 ft. lbs.).
6. Install the wheel and tire. Tighten down the nuts on the wheel mounting studs in the proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.).
7. Remove jackstands or lower hoist.
8. Lower the vehicle to the ground so the full weight of the vehicle is supported by the tires.
9. Lower the vehicle so its full weight is supported by the suspension. Apply the park brake and have a helper apply the vehicle brake system to keep the vehicle from moving.





10. Tighten the stub shaft to hub bearing retaining nut to a torque of 142 Nm (105 ft. lbs.).
11. Install the center cap on the wheel.
