  7. Install the hub bearing unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • Use a new spindle nut on reassembly.
    • Before installing the new spindle nut, apply a small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder against the spindle.
    • Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
    • Before installing the brake drum, clean the mating surface of the hub and the inside of the brake drum, and apply grease (Dow Corning Molykote M-77 assembly paste) to the inside circumference (A) of the center hole edge of the brake drum. Do not contaminate the brake drum sliding surface with grease.
    • Use a new hub cap on reassembly.
    • Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake drum and the inside of the wheel.
