Removal And Installation: Notes

CAUTION:

The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic encoder should not collect metallic particles. Check that there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.
When removing and installing the front wheel hub assembly, make sure that the magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection (integrated with the inner oil seal) does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.
The parts indicated by * are the nuts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque.

Post-installation operation

Using your fingers, press the Ball Joint Dust Cover to check for a crack or damage.
