NOTE:- Replace the rear driveshaft with an assembly unit instead of disassembling it.
- Do not insert the pry bar too deep, as this may cause damage to the oil seal.
- Do not pull the driveshaft by excessive force it may cause components inside the joint kit to dislodge resulting in a torn boot or a damaged bearing.
- Plug the hole of the transaxle case with the oil seal cap to prevent contamination.
- Support the driveshaft properly.
- When removing the differential carrier, first remove the drive shaft.
- Do not allow the driveshaft to be bent forcibly or drooped by the loads of other components such as axle, differential and etc.
- Replace the clip (A) whenever the driveshaft is removed from the differential carrier.
- In case of vehicles equipped with the E-LSD, it is recommended to place the fry bar (A) on the stopper of E-LSD so that the stopper acts as a fulcrum when removing the RH driveshaft.
- To install, reverse the removal procedures.
- Check the alignment.
