(1) Make mating marks on the differential
and flange yoke, and then separate the differential carrier
assembly and the propeller shaft;
(2) Suspend the propeller shaft the body wire,
so that there are no-sharp bends.
Caution
Be careful that there are no sharp bends in the pro pel-
ler shaft, as they may damage the joint.
DRIVE SHAFT DISCONNECTION
(1) Push the lower part of the knuckle to the of the
vehicle, and then separate the drive shaft from the differen-
tial carrier. At this time, use a tire lever similar to
separate the drive shaft connection,
(2) Support the separated drive shaft
wire or similar
