Fig. 14 Checking Speed Sensor Pole Piece Clearance (Models W/ABS)
g. Temporarily install speed sensor to knuckle, if equipped, then insert a suitable thickness gauge between sensor pole piece and rotor toothed
surface, Fig. 5, and tighten speed sensor at a position where clearance is 0.012-0.035 inch. If clearance cannot be obtained, check for
improper installation of rotor.
h. Remove hub, or hub and rotor, by attaching front hub remover/installer tool No. MB990998-01 and knuckle arm bridge tool No. MB991355,
or equivalents to knuckle and hub. Secure knuckle in vise, then tighten nut of front hub remover/installer to remove hub, or hub and rotor from
knuckle.
i.
Remove wheel bearing inner race from front hub using side bearing puller tool No. MB990810-01, or equivalent. First, crush oil seal in two
places to allow tabs of side bearing puller clearance to get under inner race.
j.
Drive wheel bearing out using knuckle arm bridge tool No. MB991355, remover/installer disc tool No. MB990932-01 and handle tool No.
MB990938-01, or equivalents.
k. Fill wheel bearing with multi-purpose grease and apply a thin coating to knuckle and bearing contact surfaces, then press in wheel bearing
using rear suspension bushing base tool No. MB990890-01 and rear suspension arbor tool No. MB990883-01, or equivalents.
l.
Drive oil seal into knuckle using lower arm bushing arbor tool No. MB990947 and oil seal installer tool No. MB990955-01, or equivalents.
Apply multi-purpose grease to lip of oil seal and surfaces of oil seal which contact front hub.
m. Use front hub remover/installer tool No. MB990998-01, or equivalent, to mount hub or hub and rotor onto knuckle. Tighten nut of hub
remover/installer to specifications while rotating hub to seat bearing. Leave hub remover/installer in place while taking measurements
described in Steps n and o.
n. Measure wheel bearing starting torque using hub remover/installer and a suitable inch pound torque wrench. Starting torque must be 16 inch
lbs. or less and bearing must not feel rough when rotated.
o. Measure hub endplay using hub remover/installer and a suitable dial indicator. Endplay must be within 0.002 inch. If starting torque and
endplay are not within limits specified, bearing, hub and/or knuckle may have been incorrectly installed. Repeat disassembly and assembly
procedures.
p. Apply multi-purpose grease to lip and install driveshaft side oil seal into knuckle using rear suspension bushing base tool No. MB990890-01
and rear suspension arbor tool No. MB990883-01, or equivalents. Drive seal in until it contacts snap ring.
