REMOVAL  
NOTICE:  
S
The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected  
to the vehicle weight, such as when moving the ve-  
hicle with the drive shaft removed.  
SST  
Therefore, if it is absolutely necessary to place the ve-  
hicle weight on the hub bearing, first support it with  
the SST.  
SST 09608–16042 (09608–02021, 09608–02041)  
w/ ABS:  
After disconnecting the drive shaft from the axle hub,  
work carefully so as not to damage the ABS speed  
sensor rotor serration on the drive shaft.

Before installing the drive shaft, set the snap ring with its  
opening side facing downward.  
Whether inboard joint shaft is in contact with pinion shaft  
or not can be known from the sound or feeling.  
After installation, check that there is 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12  
in.) of play in the axial direction.  
After installation, check that the drive shaft cannot be re-  
moved by hand.
