Caution
Be careful when handling the pole piece at the tip of thespeed sensor and the toothed edge of the rotor so as
not to damage them by striking against other parts.
2. REMOVAL OF CALIPER ASSEMBLY
Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with a piece of

8. REMOVAL OF REAR ROTOR
CautionCare must be taken not to scratch or scar the rotor’s
toothed surface, and not to drop it.
If the rotor’s toothed surface is chipped or the rotor is
deformed, it might not be able to accurately sense the
wheel rotation speed and the system as a result mightnot perform normally.

pinion, and press-fit the drive pinion rear bearing innerrace by using the special tool.
. DRIVE PINION PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drive pinionrotation torque by using the
following procedures:(1) Fit the drive pinion front shim(s) between the drive
pinion spacer and the drive pinion front bearing inner
race.
(2) Tighten the companion flange to the specified torque byusing the tools.
