Install and tighten the new front axle wheel hub retainer to specification in a continuous rotation. Stopping the rotation during installation will cause the nylon lock to set incorrectly. This will cause incorrect torque readings while tightening the retainer, and lead to bearing failure. Install a new front axle wheel hub retainer every time after loosening the retainer or not installing the retainer to specification in a continuous rotation.
