Rear

REMOVAL - AWD
1. Set the parking brake. The parking brake is set to keep the hub and bearing, and axle shaft from rotating when loosening the hub nut.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Remove the wheel/tire assembly.







4. Remove the cotter pin and nut retainer from the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint.







5. Remove the spring washer from the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint.







6. Remove the hub nut and washer from the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint.
7. Remove the 6 bolts mounting the driveshaft inner joint to the output shaft of the rear drive line module.










8. Remove the rear wheel speed sensor from the rear hub/bearing.
9. Release the parking brake.
10. Remove the disc brake caliper to adapter guide pin bolts.







11. Remove rear caliper from adapter using the following procedure. First rotate front of caliper up from the adapter. Then pull the rear of the caliper and the outboard brake shoe anti-rattle clip out from under the rear abutment on the adapter.







12. Support caliper to prevent the weight of the caliper from damaging the flexible brake hose.
13. Remove the rotor from the hub/bearing.
14. Remove driveshaft from rear drive line module and hub/bearing. Driveshaft is removed by first compressing the inner joint on the driveshaft and removing it from the drive line module. Then, slide the outer joint of the driveshaft out of the hub/bearing.







15. Remove the hub/bearing to axle mounting bolts.

CAUTION: Corrosion may occur between the hub/bearing and the axle. If this occurs the hub/bearing will be difficult to remove from the axle. If the hub/bearing will not come out of the axle by pulling on it by hand, do not pound on the hub/bearing to remove it from the axle. Pounding on the hub/bearing to remove it from the axle will damage the hub/bearing. This damage will result in noise or failure of the hub/bearing. To remove a hub/bearing which is corroded to the axle, lightly tap the disc brake caliper adapter using a soft faced hammer. This will remove both the disc brake caliper adapter and hub/bearing from the axle. The hub/bearing will then need to be removed from the caliper adapter.







16. Remove the hub/bearing from the axle..







17. If the disc brake caliper adapter and hub/bearing were removed as an assembly from the axle and the hub/bearing cannot be removed from the adapter by hand, use the following procedure to remove it from the adapter. With a helper supporting the caliper adapter in his hands, position Remover, Special Tool 8214-1 on the cast housing of hub/bearing. Do not position special tool on inner race of hub/bearing. Lightly strike Remover, Special Tool 8214-1 with a hammer to remove the hub/bearing from the caliper adapter.



INSTALLATION - AWD
1. Install hub/bearing on end of axle..
2. Install the hub/bearing mounting bolts. In a progressive crisscross pattern, tighten the 4 hub/bearing mounting bolts until the disc brake caliper adapter and hub/bearing are squarely seated against the axle. Then tighten the hub/bearing mounting bolts to a torque of 129 Nm (95 ft. lbs.).
3. Install driveshaft in hub/bearing and on output shaft of rear drive line module. Driveshaft is installed by first sliding the outer joint of the driveshaft into the hub/bearing and then compressing the inner joint on the driveshaft and installing it on the output shaft the drive line module.
4. Install rotor on hub/bearing.
5. Carefully lower disc brake caliper and brake shoes over rotor and onto caliper adapter by reversing the removal procedure.

CAUTION: When installing guide pin bolts extreme caution should be taken not to cross-thread the caliper guide pin bolts.







6. Install the disc brake caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten the guide pin bolts to a torque of 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.).
7. Clean all foreign material off the threads of the outer C/V joint stub shaft. Install the washer and hub nut on the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint.
8. Lower vehicle.
9. Set the park brake. This is required to keep the driveshaft from rotating when tightening and torquing the hub nut and driveshaft inner joint to driveling module mounting nuts.
10. Raise vehicle.
11. Tighten the driveshaft inner joint to drive line module output shaft mounting bolts to a torque of 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.).
12. Tighten the outer C/V joint hub nut to a torque of 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.).
13. Install the spring washer on the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint.
14. Install the nut retainer and cotter pinon the stub shaft of the outer C/V joint.
15. Install the wheel speed sensor on the hub/bearing and adapter. Install the wheel speed sensor attaching bolt. Tighten the wheel speed sensor attaching bolt to a torque of 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).
16. Install wheel and tire.
17. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
18. Lower vehicle.

CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm brake pedal to adequately stop vehicle.

19. Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation of the brake system.
