REMOVAL
NOTE: Before proceeding, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES -
WARNING)(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - CAUTION).
CAUTION: Wheel mounting studs MUST NOT be
hammered out of hub flange of hub and bearing
assembly. If a stud is removed by hammering it out,
damage to hub and bearing assembly will occur
leading to premature bearing failure.

flange and wheel stud (Fig. 34).
(7) Tighten down on Remover, pushing wheel stud
out of hub flange. Once shoulder of wheel stud is
past flange, remove special tool. Remove nut from
stud and remove stud from hub flange.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install replacement wheel stud into flange of
hub and bearing from rear. Install washers on wheel
stud, then install a standard type wheel mounting
(lug) nut on stud with flat side of lug nut against
washers as shown (Fig. 35).
(2) Tighten nut, pulling wheel stud into hub
flange. Once head of stud is fully seated against rear
of hub flange, remove nut and washers from stud.
(3) Install brake rotor back on hub and bearing
(Fig. 33).
(4) Install brake caliper and adapter back over
brake rotor aligning adapter with mounting holes on
steering knuckle (Fig. 33).

REAR QUARTER PANEL/
FENDER AIR EXHAUSTER
DESCRIPTION
Air exhausters, designed to conform to the body
structure, allow air entering at the front of the vehi-
cle to flow out the back. By reducing air pressure
within the vehicle, the exhausters also reduce blower
noise at any given air flow level compared to operat-
ing without them and help reduce door closing effort.
They are located in the lower rear comers of the
body.
