CAUTION:

•  Pull out the rear wheel sensor, being careful to turn it as little as possible. Do not pull on the wheel sensor harness.
•  Failure to remove the rear speed sensor from the axle housing may result in damage to the rear wheel sensor.

3. Remove torque member bolts using power tool, leaving the brake hose attached. Position brake caliper aside with wire. Refer to BR-42, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".

   CAUTION: Do not depress brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.

4. Put alignment marks on the disc brake rotor and on the wheel hub and bearing. Remove the disc brake rotor.

   CAUTION: Do not drop disc brake rotor.

5. Remove the cotter pin.
6. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel hub lock nut from the drive shaft using power tool.
7. Tap the wheel hub lock nut with a piece of wood to disengage the drive shaft from the wheel hub and bearing.

CAUTION:

•  Do not place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle. Be careful not to overextend slide joint.
•  Do not allow drive shaft to hang without support.

NOTE: Use a suitable puller if drive shaft cannot be separated from the wheel hub and bearing.

8.  Remove the wheel hub lock nut.
9. Remove the hub bolts and the wheel hub and bearing.
10.  Position the parking brake and back plate aside with wire.
11. Remove the coil spring and spring seats. Refer to RSU-10, "Removal and Installation - AWD".
12.  Remove the axle housing.
13.  If necessary, remove the wheel studs (1) from the wheel hub and bearing using a suitable tool (A).

CAUTION:

•  Remove the wheel studs only when necessary.
•  Do not hammer the wheel studs or damage to the wheel hub and bearing may occur.
•  Pull out the wheel studs in a direction perpendicular to the wheel hub and bearing.

14.  Inspect the components. Refer to RAX-14, "Inspection".

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

•  Place a washer (A) as shown to install the wheel studs (1) by using the tightening force of the nut (B).

CAUTION:

•  Check that there is no clearance between wheel stud and the wheel hub and bearing.
•  Do not reuse wheel stud.

• Clean the mating surfaces of the wheel hub lock nut and the wheel hub and bearing.

  CAUTION: Do not apply lubricating oil to these mating surface.

• Clean the mating surfaces of the joint sub-assembly and the wheel hub and bearing. Apply Molykote M77 lubricant to the surface (A) of the joint sub-assembly.

  CAUTION: Apply lubricant to cover the entire flat surface of joint subassembly.

  NOTE: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.

Amount of lubricant : RAX-27, "Drive Shaft"

• Hold the wheel hub and bearing. Tighten the wheel hub lock nut.

CAUTION:

• Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Do not use a power tool.
•  Too much torque causes axle noise. Too little torque causes wheel bearing looseness. Tighten the wheel hub lock nut to the specification.
•  When installing a cotter pin, securely bend the cotter pin to prevent rattles.

CAUTION: Do not reuse cotter pin.

•  Install the rear wheel sensor to the axle housing. Refer to BRC-134, "REAR WHEEL SENSOR : Removal and Installation".

CAUTION:

•  Before installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron fragments adhered to the pickup part of the rear wheel sensor.
•  When installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron fragments adhered to the pickup part of the rear wheel sensor. Make sure no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor.

  Remove any foreign material and clean the mount.

•  Check that the wheel hub and bearing operates smoothly.
•  Align the matching marks on the disc brake rotor and on the wheel hub and bearing.
•  Perform the inspection after installation. Refer to RAX-14, "Inspection".
•  Perform the final tightening of each part under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing.

Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Wheel Hub and Bearing

Check the wheel hub and bearing for wear, cracks, and damage. Replace if necessary.
