Installation CAUTION:Front axle wheel hub retainer nut must be tightened to specification immediately during installation. If retainer is not tightened immediately, nylon lock will set incorrectly, leading to incorrect torque readings and bearing failure. Any front wheel hub retainer that is not immediately tightened to specification or is loosened must be removed and a NEW retainer installed. To install, reverse removal procedure. Position ball stud groove so bolt can be installed without forcing. Install NEW fasteners for all items except brake rotor and caliper. Apply Loctite 242 (WSK-M2G351-A5) to last 5 front wheel axle shaft joint threads prior to installing axle wheel hub retainer nut. Tighten fasteners to specification.
