Begin the wheel spindle service and repair procedures with brake parking release and wheel removal. After separating the wheel speed sensor you must proceed with the brake spindle service for vehicles that feature anti-lock functions. Total replacement of damaged dust caps is mandatory whenever the dust cap becomes damaged while removing it. A socket should be used to remove the hub retaining nut with precision which will protect both the
ABS Sensor ring and prevent metal fragments from affecting its functionality. You should start the process by taking out the
Brake Drum combined with the hub retaining nut. All surfaces that will mate together must remain clean and free of rust and foreign particles. A suitable abrasive disc should clean four specific mating surfaces which include the wheel spindle mating surface alongside the
Brake Backing Plate-to-wheel spindle mating surface and the brake backing plate-to-knuckle mating area together with the knuckle mating surface. Position the wheel spindle before applying the socket tool to put on the hub retaining nut while actively keeping the wheel speed sensor ring unharmed from metal pieces during brake drum installation. Conclude the procedure by installing the dust cap followed by the wheel speed sensor for vehicles with anti-lock brakes after assembling the wheel and tire. Finish by tightening the parking brake.
