it away from the hub bearing unit. Turn each bolt

easily, back off the brake adjuster one full turn
(23 teeth).
8. Remove the hub bearing unit.
9. Install the hub bearing unit in the reverse order of
removal, and pay particular attention to the
following items:
• Wash the bearing and spindle thoroughly in high
flash point solvent before reassembly.
• Before installing the new 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 spindle.
• Inspect the pulser teeth for any damage.
