• 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 drive shaft, wheel hub and bearing.

And then apply Molykote M77 lubricant to surface (A) of joint sub-

assembly of drive shaft.

CAUTION:

Apply paste to cover entire flat surface of joint sub-assembly

of drive shaft.

NOTE:

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

mation.

•

CAUTION:

• Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel

hub lock nut.

• Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Do not use a power tool.

• Do not reuse wheel hub lock nut.

• Too much torque causes axle noise. Too little torque, causes wheel hub and bearing looseness.

Tighten the wheel hub lock nut to the specification.
