Press out the wheel knuckle and detach the driveshaft from the hub. Take care not to damage the driveshaft boot. Use a tensioner band and pull the strut and spring assembly backwards. Remove the screws for the bearing cap for the driveshaft.

CAUTION:

Do not pull the outer part of the shaft. Doing so could damage the axial stops in the joints.

Pull the driveshaft straight out.
