REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK





1. Release the parking brake.
2. Remove the brake drum.
3. For vehicles with rear disc brake, remove the caliper assembly and the brake disc.
4. After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing, wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90° angle with a spring scale. Measure to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the limit value.

Limit: 18 Nm (3.9 lbs.) or less

5. If the rotary-sliding resistance exceeds the limit value, replace the rear hub assembly.
