Looking at the rear suspension, there is a need to first lift and support the vehicle, followed by the removal of the tire and the wheel to get at the Steering Knuckle that needs to be changed. Unplug the park brake cable from the park brake actuator from the same side and use the j 37043 (Park Brake Cable Release Tool) to take the park brake cable off the mounting bracket. Back up the brake caliper using thick mechanic wire or the equal every time it is disconnected from its mounting whenever the hydraulic flexible brake hose remains connected to avoid damage and possible brake fluid leaks. Remove the brake caliper and bracket as the whole component, positioning it with heavy mechanics wire or something of the kind. Then, take away the wheel bearing/hub assembly, followed by the upper Control Arm to knuckle bolt and nut, the lower Control Arm to knuckle bolt and nut, the toe link to knuckle bolt and nut, and the three
Trailing Arm to knuckle bolts. Remove the old knuckle that was in the vehicle and place the new knuckle into the lower Control Arm and loosely bolt and nut everything down before installing it to the upper Control Arm, toe link, and three Trailing Arm bolts which are all to be loosely bolted and nutted down. Tighten the knuckle to lower Control Arm bolt and nut to 160 Nm (118 lb-ft), the knuckle to upper Control Arm bolt and nut to 160 Nm (118 lb-ft), the knuckle to toe link bolt and nut to 160 Nm (118 lb-ft), the three Trailing Arm to knuckle bolts to 110 Nm (81 lb-ft). Mount the wheel bearing/hub assembly, making sure you support the brake caliper just like previously mentioned, remove the supporting wire, and mount the brake caliper and bracket assemblies to the knuckles. Thread the actual rear park brake cable through the mounting bracket and onto the park brake actuator, install the tire and the wheel, lower the vehicle, as well as conduct a vehicle wheel alignment.
