Raise and support the front of the vehicle safely using jackstands. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Remove the brake caliper mounting bolts and carefully remove the caliper (along with the brake pads) from the rotor. Do not disconnect the brake line; instead wire the caliper out of the way with the line still connected. Once the rotor is removed from the vehicle the wheel bearings may be cleaned and repacked or the bearings and races may be replaced. For more information, please refer to the wheel bearing procedures in Chapter 1 of this manual. Carefully pry out the grease cap, then remove the cotter pin, spindle nut, and washer. Remove the hub, being careful not to drop the outer wheel bearings. As the hub is pulled forward, the outer wheel bearings will often fall forward and they may easily be removed at this time. To install: Carefully install the wheel hub over the spindle. Using your hands, firmly press the outer bearing into the hub. Loosely install the spindle washer and nut, but do not install the cotter pin or dust cap at this time. Install the brake caliper. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Properly adjust the wheel bearings: Spin the wheel forward by hand and tighten the nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 Nm) in order to fully seat the bearings and remove any burrs from the threads. Back off the nut until it is just loose, then finger-tighten the nut. Loosen the nut 1/4-1/2 turn until either hole in the spindle lines up with a slot in the nut, then install a new cotter pin. This may appear to be too loose, but it is the correct adjustment. Proper adjustment creates 0.001-0.005 in. (0.025-0.127mm) end-play. Install the dust cap. Install the wheel/hub cover, then remove the supports and carefully lower the vehicle.
