Attention.
- To prevent personal injury and/or component damage, do not load the wheels with the weight of the vehicle or operate the vehicle with the drive shafts removed or the drive shaft nuts loosened. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the wheel bearing inner race to come loose, resulting in damage to brake or suspension components. This is especially dangerous if such a malfunction is not detected in time, because when the car is moving, it threatens with a sudden loss of control.
- Drive shaft boots, seals and clamps must be protected from sharp objects when servicing drive shafts. Damaged boots, seals, or clamps can cause grease to leak from the joints, causing them to run noisily or malfunction.
1. Remove the rear wheel from the vehicle.
2. Remove rear suspension trunnion in one piece. Do not remove the brake caliper, hub or disc.
3. Place a drip pan under the vehicle.
4. Using a copper rod and a hammer, knock out the rear wheel drive shaft (1) from the rear final drive.
5. Installation is made in an order, the return to removal. Lubricate drive shaft splines prior to installation to facilitate installation. Insert the drive shaft until the retaining ring engages.
6. After replacing the shaft, check the oil level in the rear final drive.
