Removal
1. CAUTION: Do not begin this procedure unless the following parts are available:

Once removed, these parts must not be reused during assembly. Their torque-holding ability or retention capability is diminished during removal.
Remove wheel cover or hub cover from wheel and tire assembly.
2. Loosen lug nuts.
3. Raise vehicle on a frame contact hoist and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
4. CAUTION: Discard the front axle wheel hub retainer. It is a torque prevailing design and cannot be reused.
