Shaft Assembly, Propeller

Begin the front drive shaft service and repair by using 131 Nm torque to remove the front wheel. The front disc brake cylinder assembly needs to be disconnected by removing the steering knuckle bolt and flexible hose (torque: 28 Nm (290 kgf-cm, 21 ft. lbs.)) followed by the two bolts and washers and brake cylinder (torque: 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 91 ft. lbs.)) with proper support of the brake cylinder. The front drive shaft snap ring can be removed using a combination of a screwdriver and hammer on the grease cap followed by snap ring pliers for snap ring extraction. Required tools for this task include a torque wrench set to measure 71 inch lbs. (82 kgf-cm) and three bolts. Use a torque wrench to detach the ABS speed sensor and wire harness by removing those three bolts. You must disconnect the steering knuckle arm which requires removal of two bolts threaded to 147 Nm (1,500 kgf-cm, 108 ft. lbs.). After cleaning the bolt threads you must apply sealant specified as Part No. 08833-00070 or THREE BOND 1324 equivalent for installation. Steer clear of the cotter pin and nut at the steering knuckle (torque: 159 Nm (1,625 kgf-cm, 117 ft. lbs.)) while making necessary adjustments to the alignment using up to 60 degrees angle. Connect the lower suspension arm with the temporary nut as you secure the assembly with a jack using Special Service Tool 09628-62011. Disassemble the cotter pin and nut from the steering knuckle while applying 110 Nm (1,125 kgf-cm, 81 ft. lbs. torque). Additional tightening up to 60 degrees is required if the cotter pin holes are misaligned. The technician should utilize Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to disconnect the steering knuckle from the upper suspension arm before extracting the nut and steering knuckle alongside the axle hub. The removal of the front drive shaft assembly requires using a brass bar and hammer for tapping out the drive shaft while ensuring protection of boot components alongside dust cover and oil seal before removing the snap ring from the inboard joint tulip with a screwdriver. You need to examine the outboard joint for its movement range then observe regular operation of the inboard joint combined with radial deformation and boot deterioration. The disassembly process starts with removing both inboard joint boot clamps by unstaking but keeping the inboard joint tulip and outboard joint shaft matchmarks from punching. After removing the outboard joint shaft snap ring the inboard joint tulip can be taken out. First remove the inboard joint boot clamps by unstaking them then mark the outboard joint shaft and both the inner race and cage with matchmarks. Finally remove the six balls from the joint and move the cage to the outboard joint side before using a snap ring expander to extract the snap ring then tap out the inner race with a brass bar accompanied by a hammer. Unstake the two outboard joint boot clamps but keep the outboard joint boot attached to it before removing the inboard and outboard joint boots without separating the outboard joint. Tap out the dust cover from the inboard joint tulip and the dust seal from the outboard joint shaft. Place a new dust seal onto the outboard joint shaft through use of Special Service Tool: 09950-00020 followed by installation of a new dust cover using Special Service Tool: 09316-20011. Implement the outboard joint boot while using two new clamps and apply vinyl tape on the spline to avoid damage before using Special Service Tool: 09521-24010 to pinch the inside clamp and apply grease to the outboard joint and boot according to the standard weight of 368 to 378 grams (13.0 to 13.3 ounces). Use Special Service Tool: 09240-00020 to adjust the outside clamp while positioning and pinching it until the clearance reaches 0.8 mm (0.031 inch). Construct the front axle inboard joint assembly by inserting the cage onto the outboard joint shaft with its compact inner section facing outward before matching the reference points while adding a new snap ring with snap ring expanding tool. Grease the six balls before loading them into the assembled cage of the inner race structure where matchmarks were previously aligned. The inboard joint tulip and boot required 293 to 303 grams (10.3 to 10.7 ounces) of grease packing before reinstallation of the outboard joint shaft. A new snap ring was installed. Mount the boot onto the inboard joint tulip while keeping it on the shaft groove and avoiding any deformation of the two boots during standard drive shaft length (A: 573.9 mm plus or minus 5.0 mm (22.594 inch plus or minus 0.197 inch)). Use clamps by bending them for lock and inspect the front drive shaft assembly both by reversing the removal sequence and testing the ABS speed sensor signal following installation.

Install 2 new snap rings to allow 0 mm (0 inch) axial play and tap the yoke until there is no clearance between the bearing outer race and snap ring.

Use Special Service Tool: 09636-20010 and a press, ensuring the universal joint is straight and applying MP grease to part 'A'.

Pump MP grease into each fitting with a grease gun until grease flows around the oil seal.
