Question 1

How to remove and replace the axle shaft assembly on Scion tC?

Accepted Answer

The first step for axle shaft assembly replacement requires draining both automatic transaxle fluid and manual transaxle oil. The front wheel and engine under cover needs to be removed first before using Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 and a hammer to unstake the front axle hub nut. The nut must be fully loosened to protect the drive shaft screw from damage. The front stabilizer link assembly requires removing its nut before checking if the ball joint rotates. Use a 6 mm hexagon wrench to maintain the stud position in place. Pull off the front speed sensor by disconnecting its wire and flexible hose attached to the shock absorber then to the steering knuckle while being careful not to damage the components. The disconnect process requires removal of the cotter pin along with the nut from the tie rod end sub-assembly for subsequent use of Special Service Tool: 09628-00011 to separate the sub-assembly from the steering knuckle. To perform the front No. 1 suspension lower arm sub-assembly removal you must first uninstall the bolt and two nuts. The procedure to remove the front axle assembly starts with marking both the drive shaft and axle hub before separating them using a plastic-faced hammer while protecting the boot and speed sensor rotor. Special Service Tools: 09520-01010, 09520-24010, and 09520-32040 remove the front drive shaft assembly LH while protecting the transaxle case oil seal alongside the inboard joint boot and drive shaft dust cover from damage. To access the drive shaft bearing case of the RH front assembly remove its two retaining bolts then carefully extract the drive shaft keeping safety in mind of inboard joint boot damage or dust cover wear. It is appropriate to add vehicle weight to hub bearings using Special Service Tools: 09608-16042, 09608-02021, or 09608-02041 but keep the tools as safety mechanisms to avoid damage.

Question 2

How to service and repair the axle shaft assembly on Scion xA?

Accepted Answer

Begin the front drive shaft repair process by draining manual transaxle oil with a torque of 39 Nm or automatic transaxle fluid with a torque of 25 Nm. Start by removing the front wheel and engine under cover LH before using Special Service Tool: 09930-00010 and a hammer to separate the retaining tab(s). Make sure the staked portion of the nut develops complete looseness to prevent damage to the drive shaft screw. Disengage the front speed sensor through bolt and clip removal then untether it from the steering knuckle while protecting the sensor from harm. The process starts with disconnecting the front stabilizer bar after removing its nut and cushion retainers followed by using Special Service Tool 09628-00011 to disconnect the front Number One suspension lower arm sub-assembly. Use Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to remove the tie rod end sub-assembly while you should disconnect front drive shaft assembly through gentle hammer blows with a plastic-faced hammer to protect the boot and speed sensor rotor. Begin front drive shaft assembly LH removal with Special Service Tools 09520-01010 and 09520-24010 (09520-32040) before using the same method with a brass bar and hammer to remove the front drive shaft assembly RH. Perform this operation while carefully guarding the oil seal and boot. For protection against hub bearing damage fix the front axle assembly LH using Special Service Tool: 09608-16042 (09608-02021, 09608-02041). Check both the front drive shaft assemblies for joint movements before inspecting the boots for any signs of damage. The disassembly process begins by taking off the front No. 2 axle inboard joint boot clamp followed by the front axle inboard joint boot clamp before disconnection of the inboard joint boot from the inboard joint. Disassemble the inboard joint assembly while marking the joints and keeping away from punch techniques for marking. Initiate procedure by removing the drive shaft damper setting clamp along with the front drive shaft damper RH before proceeding with both outboard joint boot clamps and outboard joint boot. Per Special Service Tool: 09950-00020 users should pry off the front drive inboard joint hole snap ring and press out the dust cover. To reassemble the front drive shaft dust cover Left Hand users must utilize Special Service Tool: 09527-10011 to press in the component while installing a new hole snap ring and wrapping the outboard joint shaft spline with vinyl tape before placing the new outboard joint boot and clamps to maintain a grease capacity between 155 to 170 g (5.5 to 6.1 oz.). Install the front drive shaft damper RH followed by the damper setting clamp before putting in the front drive inboard joint assembly while paying attention to matchmarks and applying 125 to 135 g (4.5 to 4.8 oz.) of grease at the standard level. Install the inboard joint boot and clamps followed by a verification of joint play before moving forward with assembly pieces of the front drive shaft assembly LH and RH during which careful attention must be paid to the outboard joint boot and speed sensor rotor. You should connect the tie rod end with the front suspension lower arm sub-assembly while following proper torque specifications then install the front stabilizer bar and speed sensor. Fasten a new hub nut according to 216 Nm (2,200 kgf-cm, 159 ft. lbs.) torque while staking it before reinstalling the LH engine under cover and front wheel at 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). The necessary front wheel alignment adjustment must take place together with manual transaxle oil or automatic transaxle fluid inspection and ABS speed sensor signal testing.

Question 3

How to remove the axle shaft assembly on Scion xB?

Accepted Answer

Draining automatic transaxle fluid or manual transaxle oil brings the first step in front drive shaft removal. Beginning with front wheel and No. 1 engine under cover removal the service must also remove both rear engine under covers (left and right-hand sides). Separate the front speed sensors along with front stabilizer link assemblies by removing the front axle hub nuts in the same manner on each side. Remove the tie rod end sub-assemblies as well as front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assemblies from both LH and RH sides. When working on the front axle assembly mark the drive shaft and axle hub and then disconnect the steering knuckle with the axle hub through the use of a plastic-faced hammer without damaging the oil seal drive shaft boot or speed sensor rotor. Use Special Service Tool: 09520-01010, 09520-24010 and 09520-32040 to remove the front drive shaft assembly while guarding against damaging the transaxle case oil seal as well as inboard joint boot and drive shaft dust cover along with avoiding drive shaft drops. To detach the drive shaft assembly (RH) remove its two bolts followed by pulling out the drive shaft with its bearing case before removing it from the transaxle while being attentive to both seals and dust cover. Transferring vehicle weight to the hub bearing should be done using Special Service Tools: 09608-16042, 09608-02021, or 09608-02041 before proceeding to fix the front axle assembly (RH).
