CAUTION:
Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may possibly cause an open circuit in the wiring harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the following procedures, disconnect the ABS wheel-speed sensor connector (axle side) and fix the wiring harness to an appropriate place where it will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle.
1. Disconnect the front ABS wheel-speed sensor. (See FRONT ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
3. Install in the reverse order of removal.
4. After installation, inspect the front wheel alignment and adjust it if necessary. (See FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT.)

1. Remove the locknut.
2. Install a spare nut onto the drive shaft so that the nut is flush with the end of the drive shaft.
3. Tap the nut with a copper hammer to loosen the drive shaft from the front wheel hub.
4. Separate the drive shaft from the wheel hub.
1. Remove the brake caliper component from the steering knuckle and suspend it out of the way using a cable.
NOTE:
The wheel hub bolts do not need to be removed unless they are being replaced.
1. Remove the wheel hub bolt using a press.
1. Install the new wheel hub bolt using a press.
1. Apply grease (L2Y1 33247) to the wheel bearing inner race and drive shaft contact surface (Area A in figure).
1. Install the steering knuckle to the front shock absorber, insert the bolts from the direction indicated as follows, then tighten them to the specified torque.
Vehicle right side: Insert the bolts from the vehicle front.
Vehicle left side: Insert the bolts from the vehicle rear.
1. After tightening the locknut once at a torque of 100—150 N·m {11—15 kgf·m, 74—110 ft·lbf}, loosen it 180 degrees once, and then retighten it at a torque of 236—274 N·m {25—27 kgf·m, 175—202 ft·lbf}.
