REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA"REAR BRAKE CALIPER REMOVAL
Suspend the rear brake caliper from the body with wire, etc.
to prevent it from falling.
Caution
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.
AB"DRIVE SHAFT NUT REMOVAL
Caution
Do not apply pressure to wheel bearing by the vehicle
weight to avoid possible damage to wheel bearing before
tightening drive shaft nut fully.
AC"REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Use the special tools to push out the drive shaft from
the hub.
2. Remove the drive shaft from the transmission by the
following procedure.
Insert a pry bar between the differential carrier and the
drive shaft, and then pry the drive shaft from the differential
carrier.
Caution
(1) Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will damage
the T.J.; be sure to use the pry bar.
(2) When pulling the drive shaft out from the
differential carrier, be careful that the spline part
of the drive shaft does not damage the oil seal.
(3) Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel
bearing while loosening the drive shaft nut.
Otherwise wheel bearing will be damaged. If,
however, the vehicle weight must be applied to
the bearing (because of moving the vehicle),
temporarily secure the wheel bearing by using
the special tool.
