NOTE: Specifc IWE “Integrated Wheel End” installation
procedures are necessary when servicing and/or IWE
vacuum is released. When the IWE actuator is loosened at
the knuckle and/or removed from CV shaft:
• Remove the two vacuum line, compress the IWE actuator
and install a vacuum cap on the larger vacuum port (to
keep it compressed).
• Install the IWE actuator onto the halfshaft outer end (if
removed).
• Do not dislodge the IWE seal spring when installing
an IWE on a CV halfshaft outboard end or component
damage may occur.
• Allow the wheel knuckle to swing outward while keeping
the halfshaft pushed inward.
• Once clearance is available, install the halfshaft outboard
end into the wheel knuckle hub bearing.
• Connect the upper ball joint and install new nut; torque to
85 ft-lbs.
• Install the three IWE actuator to wheel knuckle retaining
bolts; torque to 106 ft-lbs
• Remove the IWE vacuum cap and reconnect the vacuum
tubes.
• Verify the spline engagement by checking for spline lash
before installing the axle nut or component damage may
occur.
• Install new axle nut; 30 ft-lbs
