1.
Remove the front wheel and tire (A) from front hub .
Tightening torque:
88.2 ~ 107.8 N.m (9.0 ~ 11.0 kgf.m, 65.0 ~ 79.5 lb-ft)
Be careful not to damage the hub bolts when removing the front wheel and tire (A).
2.
Remove the brake caliper mounting bolts, and then place the brake caliper assembly (B) with wire.
Tightening torque:
78.4 ~ 98.0 N.m (8.0 ~ 10.0 kgf.m, 57.8 ~ 72.3 lb-ft)
3.
Remove the caulking nut (A).
Tightening torque:
294.2~ 313.8N.m (30.0 ~ 32.0kgf.m, 217.0 ~ 231.5lb-ft)
Caulking depth : 1.5 mm (0.591 in.)
•
The driveshaft caulking nut must be replaced with new one.
•
After tightening the caulking nut to the specified torque,
caulk the nut using a chisel and hammer as shown in the illustration
below.
4.
Remove the wheel speed sensor (A) and brake hose bracket bolt (B).
5.
Remove the tie rod end ball joint (C) from the knuckle.
(1)
Remove the split pin (A).
(2)
Remove the castle nut (B).
6.
Disconnect the ball joint(A) from knuckle using the special tool (09568-4A000).
7.
Remove the lower arm (A) mounting bolt and nut from the knuckle.
Tightening torque:
98.0 ~ 117.6N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.7lb-ft)
8.
Remove the front lower arm from the front knuckle using the SST (0K545-A9100).
(1)
After removing bolts from the front knuckle, install and tighten the sub body bolt (A) .
(2)
Input the sub body (A) between the front knuckle and the sub body bolt.
(3)
Tighten bolt (B) of the sub body bolt to broaden the gap of the front knuckle.
(4)
Install the safe wire (A).
Install a safe wire on the front strut to prevent dropping the SST and hurting technicians.
(5)
Install the main body, between the front strut and the lower arm.
(6)
To avoid the main body coming off, install a fixing clamp (A) beside the main body.
(7)
After installing a fixing clamp, rotate the handle (B) clock wise till the clamp is fixed on a lower arm.
(8)
Tighten a main body bolt (A) of the slowly and remove the lower arm from the front knuckle.
9.
Using a plastic hammer (A), disconnect driveshaft (C) from the axle hub (B).
10.
Loosen the inner shaft mounting bolts and then disconnect the inner shaft (A).
Tightening torque:
49.0 ~ 68.6N.m (5.0 ~ 7.0kgf.m, 36.2 ~ 50.6lb-ft)
By the shape and the engine bracket bolts are mounted differently.
11.
Use the prybar and remove the left front drive shaft (A).
12.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
•
Use a pry bar being careful not to damage the transaxle and joint.
•
Do not insert the pry bar too deep, as this may cause damage to the oil seal.
•
Do not pull the driveshaft by excessive force it may cause
components inside the joint kit to dislodge resulting in a torn boot or a
damaged bearing.
•
Plug the hole of the transaxle case with the oil seal cap to prevent contamination.
•
Support the driveshaft properly.
•
Replace the retainer ring whenever the driveshaft is removed from the transaxle case.
13.
Check the front alignment.
