CAUTION:
- Never place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle. Also be careful not to overextend slide joint.
- Never allow drive shaft to hang down without support for counterpart such as joint sub-assembly, and other parts.
NOTE:
Use a suitable puller, if the wheel hub and bearing assembly and drive shaft cannot be separated even after performing the above procedure.
16. Remove wheel hub lock nut and spring washer.
17. Remove drive shaft from axle housing.
18. Remove cotter pin, then loosen suspension arm mounting nut of axle housing.
19. Separate suspension arm from axle housing, using ball joint remover, and then remove axle housing from the vehicle.
CAUTION:
- Never damage ball joint boot.
- Temporarily tighten nuts to prevent damage to threads and to prevent the ball joint remover from coming off.
- Never place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle. Also be careful not to overextend slide joint.
- Never allow drive shaft to hang down without support for counterpart such as joint sub-assembly, and other parts.
20. Remove axle housing.
21. Remove wheel hub and bearing assembly.
22. Remove anchor block and back plate.
23. Remove hub bolts from wheel hub and bearing assembly, using the ball joint remover (A) (commercial service tool).
CAUTION:
- Remove hub bolt only when necessary.
- Never hammer the hub bolt to avoid impact to the wheel hub and bearing assembly.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
- Place a washer (A) as shown in the figure to install the hub bolts
(1) by using the tightening force of the nut (B).
CAUTION:
- Check that there is no clearance between wheel hub and bearing assembly, and hub bolt.
- Never reuse hub bolt.
- Clean the matching surface of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub and bearing assembly.
CAUTION:
Never apply lubricating oil to these matching surface.
- Clean the matching surface of drive shaft and wheel hub and bearing assembly. And then apply paste [service parts (440037S000)]
to surface (A) of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.
CAUTION:
Apply paste to cover entire flat surface of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.
Amount paste 1.0 - 3.0 g (0.04 - 0.10 oz)
- When installing drive shaft, change the drive shaft and wheel hub and bearing assembly matching marks put at the removal step by
180 degree.
- Use the following torque range for tightening the wheel hub lock nut.
Tightening Torque : 100 - 105 Nm (10 - 11 kg-m, 74 - 77 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
- Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel hub lock nut.
- Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.
NOTE:
Wheel hub lock nut tightening torque does not over torque for avoiding axle noise, and does not less than torque for avoiding looseness.
- Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and axle housing.
- When installing the spring washer, face the identification paint mark to the wheel hub and bearing assembly side.
- When installing the adjusting cap, check that there must be no play.
