<< D >> Driveshaft Assembly Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic encoder does not collect metallic particles.
- When removing the driveshaft, make sure that it does not contact with the wheel speed detection magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.
- If the driveshaft is seized with the hub, use the following special tools to push the driveshaft assembly out from the hub:
- Puller shaft (MB990242)
- Puller bar (MB990244)
- Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767)
- Puller body (MB991354)
- While pulling the lower side of the brake disc toward you, remove the driveshaft assembly from the hub.CAUTION:
- Never pull out the driveshaft assembly from the EBJ assembly side. Otherwise, the PTJ assembly may be damaged. Always pull out from the PTJ side with a lever.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the transmission is not damaged by the spline part of the driveshaft assembly.
- For driveshafts other than FWD-RH driveshaft, insert a lever between the transmission case or transfer and driveshaft assembly, and then pull the driveshaft assembly out from the transmission.
