2003 Toyota Corolla Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to overhaul the axle shaft assembly on 2003 Toyota Corolla?
A: The first step towards axle shaft assembly overhaul consists of draining manual transaxle oil using a torque of 39.2 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.) while automatic transaxle fluid requires a torque of 17.5 Nm (178 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.). To begin the front axle hub LH nut removal you must first use Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 with hammer application of brakes during the process. The nut must be unfastened to split the front stabilizer link assembly LH from the shock absorber assembly front LH while applying a hexagon wrench (6 mm) to stabilize the stud when the ball joint rotates. For removal, disconnect the speed sensor front LH from the shock absorber assembly and steering knuckle while using Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to separate the tie rod end sub-assembly LH. The next procedure requires disconnecting a bolt and two nuts from the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH for separation. Then separate the front axle assembly LH by striking it with a plastic hammer while guarding the boot and speed sensor rotor from any damage. Disconnect the front drive shaft assembly LH using Special Service Tools: 09520-01010, 09520-24010 (09520-32040) while maintaining protection of the dust cover and oil seal. The Special Service Tool: 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041) should be used to support the hub bearing to avoid damage to occurring under vehicle weight application. Check the front drive shaft assembly LH for boot damage and play together with its boots LH by removing the number 2 clamp using needle nose pliers and the clamp with side cutters. When replacing the inboard joint sub-assembly LH it is essential to allow separate removal of its boot from the assembly by cleaning the old grease followed by marking the parts before disassembly from the outboard joint shaft assembly. The inner LH shaft snap ring needs a snap ring expander to remove before using a brass bar and hammer to separate the tripod joint assembly while avoiding the roller area. The inboard joint sub-assembly LH must receive grease packing of 135 to 155 grams or 4.8 to 5.5 ounces before item assembly where matchmark alignment remains essential. The installation of inboard joint boot requires Special Service Tool: 09521-24010 for securing the clamps with clearance at 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) or smaller. As the final step install the front drive shaft assembly LH and RH by applying ATF to automatic transaxles or gear oil to manual transaxles followed by specific torque values that include front axle hub LH nut to 216 Nm (2,200 kgf-cm, 159 ft. lbs.). Follow the installation of the front wheel by pouring fluid into both the manual and automatic transaxle units then check alignment of the front wheels and confirm the ABS speed sensor output.
