PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
Precautions EDS003I3
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing the wheel hub and drive shafts.
q Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
q Before disassembling and servicing, clean the outside of parts.
q Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be taken into account during disassembly of the compo-
nent parts.
q Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.
q Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adher-
ing to parts.
