CAUTION:
- Before removing the rear wheel hub assembly, disconnect the ABS wheel sensor from the assembly. Move it away from the hub assembly. Failure to do so may result in damaged sensor wires and the sensor becoming inoperative.
- Wheel hub bearing does not require maintenance. If any of the following occurs, replace wheel hub bearing assembly.
(1) Growling noise is emitted from wheel hub bearing during operation.
(2) Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly. This occurs when turning hub by hand after bearing lock nut is tightened to specified torque.
(3) Wheel hub bearing is removed from knuckle spindle.

1. Remove brake caliper assembly.





2. Remove wheel bearing lock nut.
3. Remove brake rotor (models with disc brake) or brake drum (models with drum brakes).
4. Remove wheel hub bearing from spindle.
- Brake hose does not need to be disconnected from brake caliper.
- Be careful not to depress brake pedal, or caliper piston will pop out.
- Make sure brake hose is not twisted.





5. Remove the sensor rotor using suitable puller, drift and bearing replacer.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the sensor rotor. Use suitable drift and press.
- Always replace sensor rotor with new one.





2. Pay attention to the dimension of rear sensor rotor as shown in figure.
h: ± 0.3 mm (± 0.012 inch)
