Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A) from the damper.
Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), then remove
the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the

Do not pull the driveshaft end outward. The driveshaft inboard joint may come apart.
During installation, apply grease to the mating surfaces of the hub bearing unit and driveshaft outboard joint.
Check the hub bearing unit for damage and cracks.
Install the hub bearing unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
Use the new spindle nut during reassembly.
Before installing the spindle nut, apply a small amount of engine
oil to the seating surface of the nut. After tightening, use a drift to
stake the spindle nut shoulder against the driveshaft.
Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces between the hub bearing unit and the inside of the brake disc.
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.
Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
