11. If shim package is not required, follow steps 10 via 12 underneath.
Hub Shim Kit Installation
1. Take out brake caliper and support it out of the way so there is no strain on the brake line then eliminate brake rotor.
2. Take out the Abs sensor on the back again of the hub.
3. Take away the 4 bolts holding the bearing hub and take away the hub from the spindle alongside with the brake shield. Use warning not to hurt the again of the bearing hub that supplies the Abdominal muscles signal.
4. Install the hub spacer so the thickest aspect of the shim is up and all 4 bolt holes line up adequately.
5. Install the plastic dust protect so the Stomach muscles sensor opening is pointed straight up toward the pretty prime hub retaining bolt hole. Now set up the bearing hub and brake defend. Use the two more time supplied bolts on the prime two hub bolts. The bolt with the threaded 8mm hole is put in at the top rated of the hub straight above the opening in the plastic dust protect. Use the stock bolts on the decreased two holes. Tighten bolts to 58-72 ft-lb (78-98Nm).
6. Working with the inventory Ab muscles bracket bolt install the Abs sensor onto the top rated hub retaining bolt employing the two equipped shims and the retaining bracket as illustrated in Fig #2. Tighten the bolt generating guaranteed the Abdominal muscles sensor does not touch the rotating bearing hub. Fig #3
7. Reinstall brake rotor.
8. Set up the caliper spacer between the caliper mount and caliper with the thickest aspect up. Tighten caliper bolts to 112 lb-ft (150Nm). Make positive brake rotor turns freely.
