CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel
bearing with the driveshaft removed. If, however,
the vehicle weight shall be applied to the bearing
(in order to move the vehicle), use the following
special tools for tightening to the specified
torque (160

± 16 N⋅m):

• Front hub remover and installer (MB990998)
• Spacer (MB991000)

Magnetic
encoder

Rear hub
assembly

Wheel
bearing

The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder

collects metallic particles easily, because it is
magnetised. 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 wheel speed
detection 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. Check the hub seated surface for damage or

corrosion. Whenever solvent is used for removing
the corrosion, the surface should be degreased.

2. Check that the new driveshaft nut can be turned

smoothly by hand. Then tighten it until it is seated.
