[QUOTE="exdeath, post: 9288268, member: 56343"] [I] Raise the vehicle on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02 . Remove the wheel and tire assembly. For additional information, refer to Section 204-04 . Remove and discard the rear hub retainer (4B477). Disconnect the parking brake cable and conduit from the parking brake lever. Remove the clip and disconnect the parking brake cable and conduit from the rear brake caliper. Disconnect the parking brake cable and conduit from the knuckle (5A968/5A969). Remove the rear brake disc. For additional information, refer to Section 206-04 . Support the lower suspension arm and bushing (5A649) with a jack stand. Remove the nut and bolt and disconnect the shock absorber (18125) from the lower suspension arm and bushing. Discard the nut and bolt. Remove and discard the cotter pin and nut. CAUTION: Do not strike the toe link or the knuckle to disconnect the toe link. The toe link or the knuckle can be damaged. Using the special tool, disconnect the toe link (5K899) from the knuckle. Mark the cam bolt position relative to the upper suspension arm and bushing (5500). NOTE: Mark a new cam bolt in the same position as the old one for assembly reference before discarding the old bolt. Disconnect the upper suspension arm and bushing from the knuckle. Remove and discard the nut and bolt. Disconnect the arm and bushing from the knuckle. Using the special tool, press the axle shaft from the hub (1109). Remove the knuckle from the lower arm and bushing. Remove and discard the nut and bolt. Remove the knuckle. Remove the dust shield, hub, snap ring and bearing from the knuckle. For additional information, refer to Wheel Hub—Cobra in this section. [/I] Special tools you'll need are a tie rod puller (or plastic/rubber mallet), a press, snap ring pliers, and a set of step plates to support both bearing races (or big sockets) when pressing in the new bearing. Possibly a crank pulley style puller tool to separate the hub from the axle splines if they are in there really right. The parking brake cable has to be completely undone because it's run through a loop cast into the knuckle instead of a separate tie down. Make sure the lower control arm is slightly loaded and supported with a jack stand so there is no pressure on the lower shock mount and so the control arm doesn't come crashing down and a spring flying out when you pull the shock bolt out (not sure you really have to unbolt the shock, that's just how it is in the manual). Pressing the bearing in is easy. Press the outer race into the knuckle, then press the hub into the bearing, with the inner race supported from below. Tie rod end : 35 lb/ft Shock to lower control arm : 98 lb/ft Lower control arm to knuckle: 85 lb/ft upper control arm to knuckle (cam bolt) : 66 lb/ft Axle hub nut : 240 lb/ft caliper to bracket : 25 lb/ft Caliper bracket to knuckle : 76 lb/ft [/QUOTE]
