Single out the front speed sensor by removing the bolts then authenticate that the sensor tip stays clean and its original angle position remains unchanged. Use Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to remove the tie rod end sub-assembly and proceed with separating the front stabilizer link assembly. Begin by disconnecting the front lower suspension arm through usage of Special Service Tool: 09628-00011 and continuing with front axle assembly disengagement by striking the drive shaft gently with a plastic hammer. Disassemble the automatic transmission case protector and front drive shaft assemblies LH and RH using Special Service Tools: 09520-01010 and 09520-24010 (09520-32040) for LH side and L and R screwdriver and hammer for RH side without damaging oil seals or inboard joint boots.
