Removing the steering knuckle from the wheel hub
Attention. Performing the following procedure without first removing the front wheel ABS sensor may result in an accidental open circuit in the wiring harness. Before performing the following procedures, disconnect the front ABS wheel sensor harness (from the side of the drive shaft) and fix the wiring in a suitable place where it will not be erroneously touched when servicing the vehicle.
1. Remove the mounting bolt and remove the front wheel ABS sensor.
2. Remove the brake hose clamp.
3. Loosen the lock nut on the drive shaft.
4. Install the replacement nut onto the threads of the drive shaft so that the lip of the nut is flush with the end of the drive shaft.
5. Tap the nut with a copper mallet to dislodge the drive shaft from the front wheel hub.
6. Disconnect the drive shaft from the wheel hub.
7. Remove the brake caliper assembly (see chapter "Brake system") and put aside, hanging on the car body with a wire.
8. Remove the brake disc (see chapter "Brake system").
9. To turn away a nut and to disconnect the top part of a rack of the stabilizer of cross stability from a rack of a suspension bracket.
10. Disconnect the tie rod end from the steering knuckle.
11. Disconnect the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle.
12. To turn away bolts of fastening of the forward shock-absorber to a rotary fist and to remove a rotary fist in gathering.
13. To turn away bolts of fastening of a wheel nave to a rotary fist.
14. Remove the wheel hub and dust cover from the steering knuckle.
15. If necessary, use a press to remove the bolts from the wheel hub.
Note: Wheel hub bolts should only be removed for replacement.
Installing the steering knuckle with wheel hub
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following:
Installing wheel hub bolts
Using a press, install new wheel hub bolts.
Wheel hub installation
Apply lubricant (L2Y1 33247) on the inner ring of the wheel bearing and the contact surface of the drive shaft (area A in the figure).
Installing the wheel hub bolts
Attention. The wheel hub bolts are tightened to a certain angle, but there is no yield strength tightening (as, for example, in the case of cylinder head bolts). Therefore, it is not necessary to check the length of the bolts.
Installing the steering knuckle to suspension strut bolts
Install the steering knuckle on the front shock absorber and insert the bolts in the desired direction: from the right side of the car - from the front to the rear, from the left side of the car - from the rear to the front. After that, tighten the nuts to a torque of 222-245 Nm.
Tightening the lock nut of the drive shaft
After tightening the lock nut to a torque of 390 Nm, unscrew it by 180 degrees, then tighten it again to a torque of 236-274 Nm.
Note: After installation, check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
