The axle remover tool j 45859 serves as the only tool needed for this job. Start by lifting the car and placing support underneath it. Then uninstall the tire and wheel along with the rotor. First you need to remove the front axle hub cap before taking off the wheel driveshaft retaining nut and washer from the wheel driveshaft. To separate the wheel shaft from the hub and bearing you need the axle remover tool j 45859. Twist off the
Wheel Speed Sensor mounting bolt and disconnect the Wheel Speed Sensor from the Wheel Hub. Unscrew the Wheel Hub and bearing mounting bolts and extract the Wheel Hub and bearing unit together with the splash shield from the
Steering Knuckle. Apply Wheel Bearing grease inside the Steering Knuckle bore surface then wipe off any rust or dirt from the area. Place the Wheel Hub and bearing along with the splash shield onto the Steering Knuckle after spreading Wheel Bearing grease over the Steering Knuckle bore. Tighten the hub bolts to 180 nm (133 ft. Lbs.). Secure the Wheel Speed Sensor by screwing its mounting bolt to 18 nm using a torque wrench. After installing the wheel driveshaft retaining nut and washer apply 240 nm (177 ft. Lbs) torque. Then attach the front axle hub cap, rotor, tire and wheel. Finally, lower the vehicle.
