Installation Procedure
Important:
• | Clean rust and foreign material from the knuckle mounting face,
bore and chamfer to allow for proper seating of the bearing and knuckle. |
• | Do not handle the wheel bearing and hub by the ABS sensor wire. |

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
