Front Suspension

Removing and installing front wheel bearing

Information

Information
The wheel bearings adopt the function of the former ABS pulse rings. They are fitted with a so-called multipole seal. This is a seal with a magnetized layer, which generates the torque impulses for the ABS rpm sensors.

The multipole seal must not come into contact with highly magnetic parts. During installation, make sure that the magnetic side is facing the ABS sensor. Use test card 147-2 for this.





Wheel bearing

Preliminary work

- Remove front wheel bearing housing (wheel carrier). First, loosen the tension bolt on the wheel hub (lock nut on wheel hub/wheel bearing threaded joint).

Subsequent work

1. Install wheel bearing housing.
1.1. Tighten tension bolt on the wheel hub (wheel hub/wheel bearing threaded joint). Use a new lock nut (M22 x 1.5). Tightening torque: 460 Nm (340 ftlb.).
