Begin wheel spindle service and repair operations by taking out the wheel bearing along with wheel hub assembly. You should remove the brake disc shield by taking out its three bolts first while tightening it back to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.) during reinstallation. The wheel spindle can be detached by removing the four spindle bolts before installation where their torque should be set at 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). The service will experience severe consequences if someone uses a wheel spindle part of lesser quality or with a different number than the original one that needs switching. Reinstall all critical suspension fasteners by using specified torque values so these components maintain their proper retention.

The wheel bearing together with wheel hub assembly requires removal as the first step to repair a wheel spindle. Start the service by extracting three bolts holding the brake disc shield and then remove the shield making sure bolts get secured to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) when reinstalling. The wheel spindle detachment starts when the four wheel spindle bolts are removed but spindle reinstallation must include torque to 140 Nm (103 lb-ft). The installation follows the exact order which was used for disassembly. When replacing any suspension fastener it becomes essential to install new components with the exact part numbers or equivalent parts which meet the quality standards since these components provide essential function to critical systems and mechanisms of the vehicle. It is necessary to maintain the correct torque values throughout reassembly for proper functionality of these components.

Use new bolts and tighten them to 140 Nm (103 lb-ft).
