(e) Using a hammer, lightly tap the end of the drive shaft,
disengage the axle hub and remove the drive shaft.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the boots and speed
sensor rotor of the drive shaft, and oil seal of the axle
hub.
INSTALLATION NOTICE: Make sure the outboard joint
side of the drive shaft does not bend too much.
REAR DRIVE SHAFT DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK DRIVE SHAFT
(a) Check that operation of the joint is smooth within the sliding
region in the axial direction.
HINT: If a large angle is used for the cross±groove type joint,
the joint will feel like it is catching, but this does not indicate
an abnormality.
(b) Check that the boots are not cracked, damaged or leaking.
(c) Check that there are no scratches on the speed sensor rotor.
2. REMOVE END COVER
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the end cover.
(b) Use bolts, nuts and washers to keep the inboard joint
together.
NOTICE: Tighten the bolt by hand to avoid scratching the
flange surface.
3. REMOVE BOOT CLAMPS
Using a side cutter or pliers, remove the clamps.
4. REMOVE INBOARD JOINT
(a) Place matchmarks on the inboard joint and drive shaft.
NOTICE: Do not punch the marks.
(b) Using a snap ring expander, remove the snap ring. SA±48

(c) Using SST, an extension bar and a press, press out the
inboard joint from the drive shaft.
SST 09726±12022 (09726±01030)
(d) Mount the inboard joint in a soft jaw vise.
(e) Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap out the inboard joint
cover from the inboard joint.
NOTICE: Make sure the cage and inner race are not posi-
tioned too much to one side of the outer race.
5. REMOVE BOOTS FROM DRIVE SHAFT
Remove the inboard joint boot and outboard boot.
REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
1. ASSEMBLE INBOARD JOINT
If the joint has come apart, reassemble it in the following or-
der.
(a) Align the matchmarks placed before removal.
HINT: When the matchmarks have disappeared, do the fol-
lowing procedure.
(1) Install the inner race to the cage so that the indented
bevelled part of the inner race is on the opposite side to
the bevelled top of the cage.
(2) Install the outer race so that the indented side of the out-
er race is facing the same side as the bevelled surface
of the cage.
(3) Match the narrow projections of the inner race with the
wide projections of the outer race.
(b) Tilt the cage and inner race to the side and insert the balls one
by one.
NOTICE: When the cage and inner race are tilted over,
support the joint with your hand to prevent the balls from
falling out.

2. TEMPORARILY INSTALL NEW BOOTS AND NEW BOOT
CLAMPS
(a) Place 4 new boot clamps to boots.
HINT: Before installing the boots, wrap vinyl tape around the
spline of the shaft to prevent damaging the boots.
(b) Install 2 boots to the drive shaft.
3. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT COVER
(a) Apply FIPG to the inboard joint cover as shown in the
illustration.
FIPG:
Part No.08826±00801, THREE BOND 1121 or equivalent
wInstall a nozzle that has been cut to a 1 mm (0.04 in.)
opening.
HINT: Avoid applying an excessive amount to the surface
(b) Remove grease from the surface of the inboard joint facing
the cover.
(c) Align the bolt holes of the cover with those of the inboard joint,
then insert the hexagon bolts.
(d) Use a plastic±faced hammer to tap the rim of the inboard joint
cover into place. Do this in the order shown, and repeat
several times.
4. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT
(a) Align the matchmarks placed before removal.
(b) Using a brass bar and hammer, tap the inboard joint onto the
drive shaft.
NOTICE: Check that the brass bar is touching the inner
race, and not the cage.
(c) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.
5. ASSEMBLE BOOTS TO JOINTS
Before assembling the boot, pack with only the same amount
of grease that was wiped off.
Grease capacity (Outboard joint):
100 ± 105 g (0.22±0.23 lb, 3.5 ± 3.7 oz.)
SA±50± SUSPENSION AND AXLEREAR DRIVE SHAFT
Page 1836 of 2543
Grease capacity (Inboard joint):
100±105 g (0.22±0.23 lb, 3.5±3.7 oz.)
HINT: Use the grease supplied in the boot kit.
NOTICE:
wKeep grease off the joint connection groove of the boot.
wPack with grease all over the ball contact surface inside
the joint.
6. INSTALL NEW BOOT CLAMPS TO BOTH BOOTS
(a) Position the clamp onto the boot.
HINT: Pinch the inboard side of the boot clamp, as shown in
the illustration.
(b) Place SST onto the clamp.
SST 09521±24010
(c) Tighten SST so that the clamp is pinched.
NOTICE: Do not overtighten the SST.
(d) Using SST, adjust the clearance of the clamp.
SST 09240±00020
Clearance:
0.8 mm (0.031 in.) or less
(e) The drive shaft is designed to move +20 mm from the normal
position.

7. INSTALL NEW END COVER
(a) Pack grease into the end cover.
Grease capacity:
50±55 g (0.11±0.12 lb, 1.8±1.9 oz.)
(b) Remove grease from the surface of the inboard joint facing
the cover.
(c) Glue on a new gasket, with the side with adhesive on it facing
toward the outer race side of the inboard joint.
(d) Align the bolt holes of the cover with those of the inboard joint.
(e) Install the 6 hexagon bolts and washer from the end cover
side.
(f) Install the 6 nuts to the boot side.
(g) Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, tighten the bolts. Do this in
the order shown, and repeat several times.
(h) Check that the claw of the end cover touches the inboard
joint.
8. CHECK DRIVE SHAFT
Check that operation of the joint is smooth within the sliding
region in the axial direction.
