Remove the brake hose from the strut and suspend the caliper from the coil spring with a wire; do not hang it from the hose. Take out the hub and bearing assembly, and then split the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle arm. After that, disconnect the control arm ball joints from the steering knuckle and then, remove the strut and finally the steering knuckle. For installation, align the steering knuckle and help it get into the right position before joining the ball joint to the knuckle and then tightening the nut to, in this instance, 180 ft. lbs. After that, fixed the tie-rod end to the steering knuckle arm then locked the nut to the torque as specified. Expand the hub and provide space to the bearing assemble so that the brake disc can be fixed on it; then, use the disc-locating screw and after that, fix the caliper. Last, you put the wheel and lug nuts on and when it is down, tighten the lug nuts to the torque, the front end alignment is then checked and if needed, adjusted.
