Removal Procedure
|
Warning:
To prevent personal injury and/or component
damage, do not allow the weight of the vehicle to load the front
wheels, or attempt to operate the vehicle, when the wheel drive
shaft(s) or wheel drive shaft nut(s) are removed. To do so may
cause the inner bearing race to separate, resulting in damage to
brake and suspension components and loss of vehicle control.
|
|
Caution: Wheel drive shaft boots, seals and clamps should be
protected from sharp objects any time service is performed on or
near the wheel drive shaft(s). Damage to the boot(s), the seal(s)
or the clamp(s) may cause lubricant to leak from the joint and lead
to increased noise and possible failure of the wheel drive
shaft. |
| 3. |
Using the CH-49376
holding wrench (1) with EN-956-1 extension
(2). |
| 4. |
Remove and DISCARD the wheel
drive shaft nut (2) from the wheel drive shaft (1). |
|
Caution: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or
equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the
hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to
support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake
hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to
the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
|
| 5. |
Using the CH-49400
remover (2), separate the brake rotor and wheel bearing/hub
assembly (1). |
| 8. |
Using the CH-313
slide hammer (2) with CH-6003 remover (1)
remove the wheel drive shaft (3) from the vehicle. |
|
Note: If there is no
washer on the wheel drive shaft, install a NEW washer.
|
| 9. |
Remove and discard the washer
(1) from the wheel drive shaft (2). DO NOT re-use the washer
replace with a NEW one only. |

|
| 2. |
Carefully install the wheel
drive shaft into the differential until the splines are past the
DT-6332 protector . |
|
Note: DT-6332 protector is not needed for
