Special Tool(s):

Removal

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital parts and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.

2. CAUTION: Care must be used when servicing rear brake components without disconnecting the parking brake cable from the brake caliper lever. Carefully position the caliper aside using a suitable support or damage to the parking brake cable end fittings can occur.

CAUTION: Do not allow the caliper and anchor plate assembly to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose can occur.

Remove the bolts and position the caliper and anchor plate assembly aside.
^ Support the caliper and anchor plate assembly using mechanic's wire.
3. Remove the rear brake disc.
4. Using the special tool, remove and discard the wheel stud.

1. Position the wheel stud in the axle flange, making sure that the serrations are aligned with those made by the original wheel stud.
2. Position washers and a reversed wheel nut on the wheel stud and tighten the wheel nut until the stud seats on the back of the axle flange.





3. Remove the wheel nut and washers.
^ Discard the nut.
