The installation process for the rear axle shaft starts by applying Special Service Tool: 09950-60020 09951-00770 and a hammer to install a new oil seal.

Testing of parking brake pedal movement in automatic transmissions and parking brake lever movement in manuals will require any needed modifications. The VSC sensor signal and the ABS sensor signal should be checked separately with VSC enabled and disabled.
