CAUTION:
- Do not pull out the driveshaft from the EUJ assembly side. Otherwise, the ETJ assembly will be damaged. Be sure to remove the driveshaft from the ETJ assembly side, by using a lever.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the differential carrier is not damaged by the spline part of the driveshaft.
Use a lever to remove the driveshaft (ETJ assembly side) from the differential carrier.
