6.Remove cotter pin, and then loosen wheel hub lock nut with power tool.

7.Patch wheel hub lock nut with a piece of wood. Hammer the wood to disengage wheel hub and bearing assembly from drive shaft.
■ CAUTION ■

- Never place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle. Also be careful not to overextend slide joint.
- Never allow drive shaft to hang down without support for counterpart such as joint sub-assembly and the other parts.

NOTE：
Use a suitable puller, if wheel hub and bearing assembly and drive shaft cannot be separated even after performing the above procedure.

8.Remove wheel hub lock nut.

9.Remove wheel hub and bearing assembly, and then remove splash guard.

■ CAUTION ■
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads and to prevent the ball joint remover from suddenly coming off.

14.Remove steering support bracket.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of the removal.

- When assembling the shaft, never press it, but pull it until fully seated by tightening the wheel hub lock nut.

- Check that anticorrosive oil is applied to the thread of the drive shaft. If not, apply appropriate oil such as engine oil.
- If sufficient oil is not applied to the thread of the drive shaft, the wheel hub lock nut may be seized and the tightening torque reaches the specified limit prematurely. It may cause looseness or abnormal noises.
- Clean the matching surface of drive shaft and wheel hub and bearing assembly, and then apply paste [service parts (440037S000)] to flat surface (A) of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.
  ■ CAUTION ■
  Apply paste to cover entire flat surface of joint sub-assembly of drive shaft.

  Amount paste | : 0.2 – 1.0 g (0.007 – 0.035 oz)

- Install drive shaft using tightening torque of wheel hub lock nut. Refer to Exploded View.
  ■ CAUTION ■
  Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut.
- Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckle.
