Step 1: Vehicle Prep/Wheel Removal
After applying the parking brake, jack up the rear of the vehicle and secure it on jack stands, then remove the rear wheels.
Step 2: Hub Assembly Removal
2A: Using the small flathead screwdriver, carefully push down on the tab of the ABS plug (figure 1) and remove it from the hub.
2B: Using the 10mm socket, remove the nut holding the parking brake cable bracket (figure 2A).
2C: Using the 14mm socket, remove the bolt holding the brake hard line (figure 2B).
2D: Using the 12mm socket, remove the four (4) bolts that attach the hub assembly to the suspension arm (figure 3).

Step 3: Camber Shim Installation
3A: Prepare the new bolts beforehand by placing one split lock washer, then one standard washer on each bolt.
3B: Grab the shim that corresponds with which side of the vehicle you're working on (D for drivers side, P for passenger side).
3C: Place the camber shim in-between the hub assembly and the suspension arm (figure 4). Make sure that the corresponding D or P is facing up and out towards the fender and place the hub assembly back on to the suspension arm.
3D: With the hub assembly in place, set a backing plate (these are not side-specific) behind the control arm bracket and align the four holes. The backing plate has countersunk holes for the washers, make sure these are facing away from the hub and towards the opposite fender (figure 5).
3E: Install and hand-tighten the four bolts, take care when threading them in. Once they're all in torque the bolts in a criss-cross pattern to 46 ft-lbs..
