Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning installation. Remove the existing hub assembly carefully, noting the 3 mounting holes with M8-1.25 retaining threads. Verify that the spline count (26) matches the axle shaft. Use the included 5 wheel studs for mounting the wheel, tightening to manufacturer torque specifications.
