•Always tighten lug nuts to the wheel manufacturer’s specifications.

•Always recheck the lug nuts after test driving the vehicle at safe speeds. If they are NOT still tight, inspect the wheel-to-hub contact

surfaces for damage and/or incomplete contact.

•As routine maintenance, periodically remove the wheels and inspect the wheel-to-hub contact surfaces for damage.

•It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the wheels used with this hub kit are properly and securely installed. Some wheels may

NOT be compatible with the hub in this kit.

Disassembly Instructions
•Disassemble the original equipment front brakes:

Raise the front wheels off the ground and support the front suspension according to vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.

Remove the front wheels and completely disassemble the stock brake system down to the bare spindles. Save the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) spindle nuts and nut locks (if any).

•Remove any nicks or burrs on the spindle mount faces that may interfere with the installation of the new brake components.

•Clean and de-grease the spindles and saved components.

Assembly Instructions (numbers in parenthesis refer to the parts list and Figure 1 on the preceding pages): CAUTION: All mounting
bolts must fully engage clinch nuts.
Be sure to check that all bolts are either flush or protruding through flanged side of clinch nut after
shimming, Figure 3.

•The caliper mounting bracket (1) has been assembled at the

factory for alignment purposes. Loosen the two bolts that secure
the brackets together so that the bolts are hand tight only, this will
enable the bracket assembly to be adjusted to accommodate
various spindle tolerances during assembly. Align bracket with
the two lower holes on the spindle face and attach using bolts (2),
washers (3), and secure using lock nuts (4), as shown in Figure
1 and Photo 1. Install bolt (5) through top of bracket and into the
spindle. Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts. Ensure that the
flanged heads of the clinch nuts in the bracket are facing
outboard, Photo 1. NOTE: The bracket must fit squarely against
the mounting points on the spindle
. Inspect for interference from
casting irregularities, machining ridges, burrs, etc. Torque lower
bolt nuts to 47 ft-lb. Remove the upper bolt, apply red Loctite®
271 to threads, and torque to 140 ft-lb. Remove one at a time the
bolts that secure the bracket assembly to each other, apply red
Loctite® 271 to the threads and torque to 40 ft-lb.

•Install wheel studs (6) into the hub (7), Photo 2. Torque to 77 ft-lb.

NOTE: There are two five lug patterns in the hub (5 x 4.50 and 5
x 4.75).
Ensure the correct hub stud pattern is being used to fit
the wheel application.

•Pack the large inner bearing cone (8) with high temperature disc

brake bearing grease (available from your local auto parts store)
and install into the backside of the hub (7), Photo 3.
