Aside from sensor rotor, this part cannot be disassembled.
Do not attempt to disassemble it.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shaft
●Replace shaft if there is any runout, cracking or damage.
Boot and Boot Band
●Replace boot if there are any cracks.
CAUTION:
For the wheel side, boot must be replaced together with drive shaft assembly.
●Once removed, boot bands must be replaced with new ones
Joint Sub-Assembly (Fixed Joint)
CAUTION:
Joint sub-assembly cannot be disassembled. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
Joint Assembly (Transaxle Side)
S-type sliding joints
●If there is scratching or wear of housing roller contact surface or spider roller contact surface, replace
housing and spider assembly.
●If there is circumferential looseness or rough rotation of spider roller, replace spider assembly.
●If there are any irregular conditions of joint assembly component parts, replace the joint assembly.
●For housing replacement, spider assembly and joint assembly are a set.
●As shown in the figure, the spider roller has a stamped number

8. Check that boot installation length “L” is the length indicated
below. Insert flat bladed screwdriver or similar tool into smaller
side of boot. Remove air from boot to prevent boot deformation.
CAUTION:
●Boot may break if boot installation length is less than
standard value.
●Be careful that screwdriver tip does not contact inside
surface of boot.

Removal and InstallationEDS000FL
REMOVAL
1. Remove rear axle. Refer to RAX-6, "REMOVAL" .
NOTE:
In order to remove the rear drive shaft assembly, the rear axle is removed. At this time it is recommended
that front and rear parallel links on axle side be loosened (not removed). This will facilitate wheel align-
ment inspection and adjustment which are carried out later.
2. As shown in the figure, use a wheel wrench or similar tool to
remove drive shaft from final drive.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
●Move the joint in the up/down, left/right, and axial directions. Check for any rough movement or significant
looseness.
●Check boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage.
INSTALLATION
1. In order to prevent damage to final drive side oil seal, first fit a
protector onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft. Slide drive
shaft into slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
CAUTION:
Be sure to check that circular clip is securely fastened.
2. Install rear axle. Refer to RAX-7, "
