25. Install the hub (A) onto the knuckle (B) using the special tools and a press. Be careful not to deform the splash guard (C).
26. Install the knuckle in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
^
Be careful not to damage the ball joint boots when installing the knuckle.
^
First install all the components and lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight before fully
tightening to the specified torque values. Do not place the jack-against the ball joint pin of the knuckle.
^
Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
^
Before connecting the lower bail joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the knuckle
connecting hole, the threaded section and mating surface of the castle nut.
^
Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the pin hole. Do not align the castle
nut by loosening it.
^
Install a new lock pin on the castle nut after torquing.
^
Use a new spindle nut on 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 driveshaft.
^
Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces of the front hub and the inside of the brake disc.
^
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.

Check the front wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
