REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION


caution
  • The parts indicated by *1 should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle standing on the ground and the curb weight condition.
  • The parts indicated by *2 are the bolts/nuts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque.
  • The part indicated by *3is the bolt/nut with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, replace it with new one.
Pre-removal operation
  • Height Sensor and Control Link Disconnection (Refer to GROUP 54A, Headlamp Automatic Leveling System .)
  • Brake Fluid Draining (Refer to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service- Basic Brake System Bleeding .)

 Post-installation operation
  • Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with your finger.
  • Height Sensor and Control Link Connection (Refer to GROUP 54A, Headlamp Automatic Leveling System .)
  • Brake Fluid Refilling and Bleeding (Refer to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service- Basic Brake System Bleeding).
  • Wheel Alignment Check and Adjustment (Refer to .)
  • Parking Brake Pedal Stroke Check and Adjustment (Refer to GROUP 36, On-vehicle Service - Parking Brake Pedal Stroke Check and Adjustment .)

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> DRIVESHAFT NUT REMOVAL

caution 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.
Use special tool front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767) to counter the hub, and remove the driveshaft nut.

<<B>> CALIPER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Retain the removed caliper assembly with a wire and the like to prevent from falling.

<<C>> REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

Without separating the parking brake cable, hang the rear brake assembly at the body-side using a string.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< WASHER/DRIVESHAFT NUT INSTALLATION

caution
  • 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.Incorporate the driveshaft washer as shown in the figure.
2.Using special tool front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767), tighten the driveshaft nuts to the specified torque. At this time, tighten the nuts within the specified torque range considering the final tightening.
Tightening torque: 144 - 176 N·m
3.If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the driveshaft nut (less than 200 N·m) and find the neareat hole then bend the split pin to fit it.
