• Check boot for cracks, damage, and leakage of grease.

• Disassemble drive shaft and exchange malfunctioning part if there

is a non-standard condition.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• Install a new differential side oil seal. Refer to 

TM-210, "Removal and Installation"

.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the differential side oil seal.

• Place Tool (A) onto transaxle assembly to prevent damage to the

differential side oil seal while inserting drive shaft. Slide drive shaft

sliding joint and tap with a suitable tool to install securely.

CAUTION:

Check that circular clip is completely engaged.

• Clean the mating surfaces of wheel hub lock nut and 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 the surface (A)

of the joint sub-assembly.

CAUTION:

Apply lubricant to cover the entire flat mating surface of the

joint sub-assembly.

NOTE:

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

mation.

• Hold the wheel hub and bearing using a suitable tool. 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.
