REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
1. If the vehicle is equipped with the Brembo disc brake, during maintenance, take care not to
contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And
if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe out quickly.
2. For vehicles with ABS or ACD, do not strike the rotor for wheel speed sensor installed to
the B.J. outer race of drive shaft against other parts when removing or installing the drive
shaft. Otherwise the rotor for wheel speed sensor will be damaged.
