Refer to Figure 17.

To remove halfshafts, insert a large bladed screwdriver between the differential pinion shaft and the inboard CV joint stub shaft.

Give a sharp tap to the handle end of the screwdriver to dislodge the circlip from the sidegear, thus freeing the halfshaft from the differential.

CAUTION: Care should be taken not to damage differential seals during halfshaft removal.

Figure 18

9.

Refer to Figure 18.

Pull the halfshaft out of the transaxle.

Support the end of the shaft by suspending from a convenient underbody component with a length of wire.

NOTE:

Do not allow the shaft to hang unsupported; damage to the outboard CV joint may result.
