CAUTION

• The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder 

collects metallic particles easily, because it is 
magnetised. 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.

1. 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)

2. 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.

3. For driveshafts other than 2WD-RH driveshaft, 

insert a lever between the transmission case or 
transfer and driveshaft assembly, and then pull 
the driveshaft assembly out from the 
transmission.

CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel 
bearing with the driveshaft assembly removed. If, 
however, the vehicle weight shall be applied to 
the bearing (in order to move the vehicle), tighten 
the following special tools to the specified torque 
(270 

± 27 N⋅m):

• Spacer (MB991000)
• Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)

The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder 

collects metallic particles easily, because it is 
magnetised. Make sure that the magnetic 
encoder should not collect metallic particles. 
Check that there is not any trouble prior to 
reassembling it.

• When installing 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.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal 

of the transmission is not damaged by the 
spline part of the driveshaft assembly.

>>C<< DRIVESHAFT NUT INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight on the front 
wheel hub assembly before fully tightening the 
driveshaft nut. Otherwise, the wheel bearing may 
be broken.
1. Check the hub seated surface for damage or 

corrosion. Whenever solvent is used for removing 
the corrosion, the surface should be degreased.

2. Check that the new driveshaft nut can be turned 

smoothly by hand. Then tighten it until it is seated.

3. Using special tool front hub and flange yoke 

holder (MB990767), tighten the driveshaft nut.

Tightening torque: 270 

± 27 N⋅m

4. After tightening to the specified torque, check that 

the nut is seated securely.

5. Use the chisel and a hammer to stake the nut until 

the centre in the staked portion reaches the 
shown dimension.

6. Finally, check that the nut is not cracked at its 

staked portion.
