REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION


caution
  • The parts indicated by *1 should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle standing on the ground and the curb weight condition.
  • The parts indicated by *2 are the bolts/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.
  • The part indicated by *3is the bolt/nut with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, replace it with new one.
Pre-removal operation
  • Brake Fluid Draining (Refer to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service- Basic Brake System Bleeding .) <2WD>

 Post-installation operation
  • Using your fingers, press the Ball Joint Dust Cover to check for a crack or damage.
  • Brake Fluid Refilling and Bleeding (Refer to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service- Basic Brake System Bleeding ). <2WD>
  • Wheel Alignment Check and Adjustment (Refer to .)
  • Parking Brake Lever Stroke Check and Adjustment (Refer to GROUP 36, On-vehicle Service - Parking Brake Lever Stroke Check and Adjustment .)
  • Check the beam direction of the head lamp (Low beam) (Refer to GROUP 54A - Headlamp Aiming ).

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> REAR DRIVESHAFT NUT REMOVAL
caution Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub assembly with the driveshaft nut loosened. Otherwise, the wheel bearing will be broken.

Use special tool front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767) to fix the hub and remove the driveshaft nut.

<<B>> REAR CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1.Remove the caliper assembly with brake hose.
2.Secure the removed caliper assembly with a wire or other similar material at a position where it will not interfere with the removal and installation of the rear wheel hub assembly.

<<C>> REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

1.If the rear hub assembly is seized with the rear driveshaft assembly, use the following special tools to push the rear driveshaft assembly out from the hub and then remove the rear wheel hub assembly.

  • Puller shaft (MB990242)
  • Puller bar (MB990244)
  • Puller body (MB991354)
  • Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767)


2.If the rear hub assembly is seized with the trailing arm, use the following special tools to remove the rear wheel hub assembly.
Combination (A)

  • Slide hammer (MB990211)
  • Rear axle shaft puller (MB990241)
Combination (B)

  • Slide hammer (MB990211)
  • Puller body (MB991354)

<<D>> REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

Without separating the parking brake cable, hang the rear brake assembly at the body-side using a string.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

>>A<< WASHER/REA DRIVESHAFT NUT INSTALLATION

caution
  • The 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 installing the drive shaft, make sure that it does not contact with the magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.
  • Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub assembly before fully tightening the driveshaft nuts. Otherwise, the wheel bearing will be broken.

1.Incorporate the driveshaft washer as shown in the figure.
2.Using special tool front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767), tighten the driveshaft nut. At this time, tighten the nut to the specified lower limit torque so that the pin hole may align with split pin.
Tightening torque: 144 - 176 N·m
3.If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the driveshaft nut (less than 176 N·m) and find the nearest hole, then bend the split pin to fit it.
