INNER SHAFT ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Use special tools MB990242, MB990244, MB991354 and
MB990767 to push out the drive shaft or the drive shaft and
inner shaft assembly from the hub.
2. Remove the drive shaft from the hub by pulling the bottom of
the brake disc towards you.
Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will damage the
PTJ; be sure to use the pry bar.
When pulling the drive shaft out from the transaxle, be
careful that the spline part of the drive shaft does not
damage the oil seal.
3. Insert a pry bar between the transaxle case and the drive
shaft, and then pry and remove the drive shaft from the
transaxle.
NOTE: Insert a pry bar, taking care not to damage the pro-
trusion of transaxle case when removing the drive shaft LH.

4. If the inner shaft is hard to remove from the transaxle, strike
the bracket assembly lightly with a plastic hammer and
remove the inner shaft.
Do not apply pressure to the wheel bearing by the vehicle
weight to avoid possible damage when the drive shaft is
removed. If, however, vehicle weight must be applied to
the bearing to move the vehicle, temporarily secure the
wheel bearing by using special tools MB991000 and
MB990998.
