2. Tighten the nut of the special tool to 177 - 275 Nm (130 - 203 ft. lbs.).
3. Rotate the hub in order to seat the bearing.
4. Measure the wheel bearing breakaway torque (hub breakaway torque) by using the special tools.
Limit: 1.8 Nm (15.62 inch lbs.) or less
5. The breakaway torque must be within the limit and, in addition, the bearing must not feel rough when rotated.
6. Measure to determine whether the end play of the hub is within the specified limit or not.
Limit: 0.05 mm (.002 inch)
7. If the breakaway torque and hub end play are not within the limit range while the nut is tightened to 177 - 275 Nm (130 - 203 ft. lbs.), the
bearing, hub and/or knuckle have probably not been installed correctly. Remove the bearing and reinstall.
