DISCUSSION:
During any service that requires the removal of the driveshaft, it is extremely important that the driveshaft removal procedure in Group 3 of the appropriate service manual be followed. The Neon and PT Cruiser Service Manuals provide the instructions for the proper use of a puller (Tool 6790); this puller must be used. Do not hammer on the end of the CV joint to detach the steering knuckle from the shaft. This can cause internal damage to the shaft that may not be obvious until the completion of the repair.
