To install:

1. Install the knuckle in the reverse order of removal, and pay particular attention to the following items:
   
   
   Be careful not to damage the ball joint boots when installing the knuckle.

   Torque all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.

   Torque the castle nuts to the lower torque specifications, then tighten them only far enough to align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not align the castle nut by loosening it.

   Install new lock pins on the castle nuts after torquing.

   Raise the locking tab on the spindle nut, then remove the nut.

   Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surface of the front hub and the inside of the brake disc.

   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 driveshaft.

   Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.

   Check the front wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.

To install:

1. Install the knuckle in the reverse order of removal, and pay particular attention to the following items:
   
   
   Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the knuckle.

   First, install all the components and lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight before fully tightening to the specified torque values. Do not place the jack against the ball joint pin of the knuckle.

   Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.

   Before connecting the ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the connecting hole, the threaded section and mating surface of the castle nut.

   Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not align the castle nut by loosening it.

   Use a new lock pin on the castle nut.

   Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surface of the front hub and the inside of the brake disc.

   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 driveshaft.

   Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.

   Check the front wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
