Removal And Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

When removing and installing the rear wheel speed sensor, make sure that the sensor head at the end does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.
During maintenance, take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe off quickly.
The parts indicated by ^*1 should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle standing on the ground and the curb weight condition.
The part indicated by ^*2 is the nut with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque.
