apply grease to the oil seal lips.
(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.
(8) Lock the adjustment nut with cotter pin.
