Repacking Front Wheel Bearing and Axle Joint
Grease
FRONT WHEEL BEARING GREASE
Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:
+Threaded portion of spindle
+Contact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer
wheel bearing
+Grease seal lip
+Wheel hub (as shown at the left)
AXLE JOINT GREASE
+Drain approximately 2 liters (1-3/4 Imp qt) of differential oil.
+Remove knuckle spindle.
+Slightly pull out axle and repack axle joint with recommended
grease.
Refer to FA section.
Checking Free-running Hub Grease
Check free-running hub grease for leakage and water or dust entry.
Checking Water Entry in Knuckle Flange
+Check for water entry in knuckle ¯ange by removing one bolt
of lower knuckle ¯ange bearing cap and probing with a suitable
thin bar.
+After checking, be sure to reinstall the bolt to a tightening torque
of 30 to 40 Nzm (3.1 to 4.1 kg-m, 22 to 30 ft-lb).
Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
If ¯uid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.

Checking Brake System
Check brake ¯uid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, cha®ng, abrasion, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake Fluid
1. Drain brake ¯uid from each air bleeder valve.
2. Re®ll until new brake ¯uid comes out from each air bleeder
valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to
re®ll brake ¯uid. Refer to BR section.
+Re®ll with recommended brake ¯uid.
+Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
+Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas.
Checking Brake Booster, Vacuum Hoses,
Connections and Check Valve
Check vacuum lines, connections and check valve for improper
attachment, air tightness, cha®ng and deterioration.
Checking Disc Brake
ROTOR
Check condition and thickness.
