(2) Set the bearings on the hub, then installed the hub on the knuckle spindle.
(3) Place a washer, then tighten the adjustment nut with a torque of 206 to 235 N-m {21 to 24 kgf-m}
[1823 to 2080 lbf-in.]. Loosen the adjustment nut, then retighten it with a torque of 9.8 N-m {1
kgf-m} [86.7 lbf-in.].
(4) Gently tapping the hub with a mallet, make sure there is no looseness.
(5) Tighten the hub with a mallet, give it a few turns. Then measure the starting torque.
(6) Tapping the hub with a mallet, give it a few turns. Then measure the starting torque.
Starting torque: 1.67 to 1.96 N-m {17 to 20 kgf-cm} [14.8 to 17.4 lbf-in.]
(7) If the starting torque measured is beyond the standard range, replace the washer and adjustment nut.
Then, repeat the steps from (3) to (6) till the standard range is acquired.
