Do not depress brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.

4. Put alignment marks on the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub and bearing. Remove the disc brake rotor.

CAUTION:

Do not drop the disc brake rotor.

5. Remove the cotter pin.
6. Loosen but do not remove, the wheel hub lock nut from the drive shaft using power tool.
7. Tap the wheel hub lock nut with a piece of wood and suitable

tool to disengage the drive shaft from the wheel hub and bear-

ing.

CAUTION:

• Do not place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle. Be

careful not to overextend slide joint.

• Do not allow the drive shaft to hang without support.

NOTE:

Use a suitable puller if the drive shaft cannot be separated from

the wheel hub and bearing.

8. Remove the wheel hub lock nut.
9. Remove the coil spring and spring seats. Refer to

RSU-10,

"Removal and Installation - AWD"

10. Remove the bolts and the suspension member stay. Refer to

REAR DRIVE SHAFT

• Move joint up/down, left/right, and in the axial direction. Check for motion that is not smooth and for signifi-

cant looseness.

• Check boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leak-

age.

• If a malfunction is found, disassemble drive shaft, and then replace

components as necessary.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the side oil seal.

• Install the side oil seal. Refer to

DLN-114, "Removal and Installation"

• Clean the mating surfaces of the wheel hub lock nut and the wheel hub and bearing.

CAUTION:

Do not apply lubricating oil to these mating surfaces.

• Clean the mating surfaces of the joint sub-assembly and the wheel

hub and bearing. Apply Molykote M77 lubricant to surface (A) of

joint sub-assembly.

CAUTION:

Apply lubricant to cover entire flat mating surface of joint sub-

assembly.

NOTE:

Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts infor-

mation.

• Hold the wheel hub and bearing. Tighten the wheel hub lock nut.

•

CAUTION:

• Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub

lock nut. Do not use a power tool.

• Too much torque causes axle noise. Too little torque causes wheel bearing looseness. Tighten the

wheel hub lock nut to the specification.

• When installing the cotter pin, securely bend the cotter pin to prevent rattles.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse cotter pin.

• Install the rear wheel sensor to the axle housing. Refer to

BRC-131, "REAR WHEEL SENSOR : Exploded

View"

CAUTION:

• Before installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron fragments adhered to the

pick-up part of the rear wheel sensor.

• When installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron fragments on and in the hole in

the axle housing for the rear wheel sensor. Make sure no foreign material has been caught in the

sensor rotor. Remove any foreign material and clean the mount.

• Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing

wheel hub and bearing.

• Check that the hub and bearing operates smoothly.

• Align the matching marks on the disc brake rotor and on the wheel hub and bearing.

• Check rear wheel alignment. Refer to

RSU-6, "Inspection"

• Adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor. Refer to

BRC-68, "Work Procedure"

• Perform the sensor initialize of the headlamp aiming control system. Refer to

EXL-84, "SENSOR INITIALIZE

: Special Repair Requirement"
