Wheel Hub Bolt Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the hub bolt using the SSTs.
NOTE:
- If the dust cover interferes with the wheel hub bolt and the wheel hub bolt cannot be removed. Tap the part shown in the figure with a chisel lightly and bend the processing point back to the steering knuckle side.
Install the hub bolt into the wheel hub and install a washer and hub nut on the hub bolt.
