Removing and installing drive shaft with inner tripod joint AAR2600i
Removing:
–  Unscrew screw for securing the drive shaft to the wheel hub:
t  Hexagon screw → Chapter
t  Twelve-sided bolt → Chapter
  Note
t  At the same time the vehicle must not be standing on its wheels, otherwise the wheel bearing will be damaged.
t  If the screw is loose, the wheel bearings must not be loaded.
t  If the wheel bearings are loaded through the vehicle's own weight, the wheel bearing will be initially damaged. This shortens the life of the wheel bearing.
t  When moving vehicles with drive shaft removed, it is advisable to install an external joint instead of the drive shaft and tighten with a torque of 120 Nm.
–  Remove wheel.
–  Remove noise insulation → Body Work → Rep. gr.50.
–  Remove drive shaft screening from the engine (if present).
   
–  Unscrew the nuts -arrows-.
–  Pull the wheel-bearing housing with steering joint out of the track control arm.
–  Pull the drive shaft out of the wheel hub and attach to the body.
