Lubricate the driveaxle splines with multi-purpose grease and fully seat the hub and bearing assembly into the steering knuckle. Insert the driveaxle splines into the hub and install new mounting bolts, tightening them to the correct torque specifications. Install the ABS wheel speed sensor and the brake disc, followed by the caliper mounting bracket and caliper, tightening the fasteners to the proper torque specifications. Install the wheel and lug nuts and lower the vehicle and tighten the driveaxle/hub nut and the lug nuts to the correct torque specifications.
