FRONT DRIVE SHAFT

RIGHT SIDE : Removal and Installation


REMOVAL

1.Remove tires with power tool. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
2.Remove cotter pin and adjusting cap, and then loosen wheel hub lock nut. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.





3.Patch wheel hub lock nut with a piece of wood. Hammer the wood to disengage wheel hub assembly from drive shaft.
NOTE:
Use suitable puller, if wheel hub assembly and drive shaft cannot be separated even after performing the above procedure.
4.Remove wheel hub lock nut. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
5.Remove steering outer socket from steering knuckle.
- With heated steering wheel: Refer to "Removal and Installation" With Heated Steering Wheel.
- Without heated steering wheel: Refer to "Removal and Installation" Without Heated Steering Wheel.
6.Remove transverse link from steering knuckle with power tool. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
7.Remove drive shaft from wheel hub assembly.

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 joint sub-assembly, shaft and the other parts.
8.Remove retainer.
9.Remove drive shaft assembly from reduction gear assembly.

CAUTION:
Never place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle when removing drive shaft. Also be careful not to overextend slide joint.
10.Remove support bearing bracket.
11.Perform inspection after removal. Refer to "Inspection" Testing and Inspection.

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Reduction Gear Side
- Install support bearing bracket in following procedure.





- Temporarily tighten support bearing bracket (1) mounting bolts in the numerical order as shown in the figure, then tighten them to specified torque.





- Set retainer (1) so that notch (A) becomes upper side. Temporarily tighten mounting bolts in the numerical order as shown in the figure, then tighten them to specified torque.

CAUTION:
Never reuse retainer.





- Place the protector (A) [SST: KV38107900 (-)] onto reduction gear assembly to prevent damage to the oil seal while inserting drive shaft. Slide drive shaft sliding joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
- Perform inspection after installation. Refer to "Inspection" Testing and Inspection.
Wheel Hub Side
- Clean the matching surface of wheel hub lock nut and wheel hub assembly.

CAUTION:
Never apply lubricating oil to these matching surface.





- Clean the matching surface of drive shaft and wheel hub 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)
- Use the following torque range for tightening the wheel hub lock nut.
: 180 - 185 Nm (18.4 - 18.8 kg-m, 133 - 136 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.
- Never reuse wheel hub lock nut.
NOTE:
Wheel hub lock nut tightening torque does not over torque for avoiding axle noise, and does not less than torque for avoiding looseness.
- Align the matching marks that have been made during removal when reusing the disc rotor.





- When installing a cotter pin (1) and adjusting cap (2), securely bend the basal portion to prevent rattles.

CAUTION:
Never reuse cotter pin.
- Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub assembly and steering knuckle.
- Perform inspection after installation. Refer to "Inspection" Testing and Inspection.
