Drive Shaft Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • If the drive shaft will not come out of the rear hub support easily, install a discarded nut onto the drive shaft so that the nut is flush with the end of the drive shaft. Tap the nut with a copper hammer to loosen the drive shaft from the wheel hub.
  1. Pull the rear hub support from the drive shaft.
  2. Remove the drive shaft from the differential using a pry bar.
