Front Hub/Knuckle: Reassembly

Apply multi-purpose grease to the contacting surface of the knuckle hub and bearing thinly.
Using the special tools (09495-33100, 09517-29000), press-in the bearing to the knuckle.
NOTE:
1. Press-in the outer race of the wheel bearing to prevent damage to the bearing assembly.
2. When installing a bearing assembly, always use a new one.

Tighten the hub and the knuckle to the specified torque by using the special tool (09517-21500).
Specified torque Nm (kgf.cm, lbf.ft)

2.0L: 200~260 (2000~2600, 148~192)

2.7L: 200~280 (2000~2800, 148~207)

Rotate the hub several times to seat the bearing.
Measure the hub bearing starting torque.
Hub bearing starting torque [Limit]

1.8 Nm (18 kgf.cm, 1.33 lbf.ft) or less

If the hub axial play exceeds the limit while the nut is tightened to 200~260 Nm (2000~2600Kgf.cm, 148~192 lbf.ft), the bearing, hub and knuckle are not installed correctly. Repeat the disassembly and assembly procedure.
Hub bearing axial play [Limit]

0.008 mm (0.0003 in.) or less
