The 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  magnetic  encoder  (integrated  with  the
inner oil seal) to avoid damage.

1.

If  the  driveshaft  is  seized  with  the  hub,  use  special  tools
MB990242  and  MB990244,  MB990767  and  MB991354  to
push the driveshaft assembly out from the hub.

2.

While  pulling  the  lower  side  of  the  brake  disc  toward  you,
remove the driveshaft assembly from the hub.

｠

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

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 MB991000 and
MB991017 to the specified torque 160 ± 16 N·m (118 ± 11 ft-
lb).

1.

Incorporate the driveshaft assembly washer as shown in the
illustration.

2.

Use special tool MB990767 to tighten the driveshaft nuts. At
this  time,  tighten  the  nuts  within  the  specified  torque  range
considering the final tightening.

Tightening torque: 144 - 176 N·m (107 - 129 ft-lb)

3.

If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the driveshaft
nut [less than 200 N·m(147 ft-lb)] and find the nearest hole
then bend the cotter pin to fit it.
