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. |
