Because of the higher center of gravity and larger tires, the vehicle will handle and react differently both on and off road. You must drive it safely! Extreme care must be taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers and always make sure all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened.

These tools are designed to remove and install front wheel drive front wheel bearings. It is not necessary to remove the knuckle assembly from the vehicle, and, as a result, front wheel alignment is not altered.
Vehicle Setup
1. Raise the vehicle until all weight is off the front wheels, and they hang freely.
2. Remove the following components: • front tires • axle nut • outer tie rod nut and tie rod • disc brake caliper - use a wire (or OTC No. 7661 caliper hanger set) to hold caliper out of the way and prevent damage to brake hose • brake rotor • loosen the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle assembly
3. Lubricate the forcing screw in the tool set.
