2. Place the knuckle in an arbor press supporting the knuckle from underneath using Cup 6310-1 (4.)
3. Place the NEW wheel bearing (5) magnetic encoder ring side down (see above Caution) into the bore of the knuckle. Be sure the wheel bearing is
placed squarely into the bore.

the bore of the knuckle.
