Do not allow drive shaft to hang down without support for counter shaft, wheel joints, and other
parts.
9. Remove suspension arm and cotter pin at axle, then loosen mounting nut.
10. Use a ball joint remover (suitable tool) to remove suspension arm from axle. Be careful not to damage ball
joint boot.
CAUTION:
Tighten temporarily mounting nut to prevent damage to threads and to prevent ball joint remover
(suitable tool) from coming off.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Ball Joint Inspection

Check for boot breakage, axial looseness, and torque of suspension arm ball joint. Refer to RSU-11,
"SUSPENSION ARM" .
INSTALLATION

Refer to RAX-6, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
Disassembly and AssemblyNDS0000Z
DISASSEMBLY
Wheel Bearing
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble if wheel bearing has no trouble.
1. Remove wheel bearing fixing bolts and anchor block fixing nuts, and remove wheel hub and bearing
assembly, back plate and anchor block from axle.
2. Using a drift (SST) and a puller (suitable tool), press wheel hub
out to remove from wheel bearing.
3. Using a drift (SST) and a puller (suitable tool), press wheel bear-
ing outer side inner race out to remove from wheel hub.

INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
1. With wheel bearing pressed into axle housing, apply 49,033 N (5,000 kg, 11,000 lb) to wheel hub and
rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise 10 times to minimize resistance.
2. Attach spring balance in the position shown in illustration and
pull at a rate of 10 ± 2 rpm to measure rotating torque.
Rotating torque:
Less than 1.88 N·m (0.19 kg-m, 17 in-lb)
Spring balance reading:
Less than 18.5 N (1.89 kg, 4.16 lb)

COMPONENTS
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove cotter pin. Then remove lock nut from drive shaft.
3. Remove stabilizer connecting rod mounting bracket bolt and free stabilizer connecting rod.
4. Remove fixing nuts and bolts between side flange and drive shaft with power tool.
5. Using a puller (suitable tool), remove drive shaft from axle.
CAUTION:

When removing drive shaft, do not apply an excessive
angle to drive shaft joint. Also be careful not to exces-
sively extend slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in the axial direction. Check
for any rough movement or significant looseness.

Check boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease
leakage.

If a trouble is found, disassemble drive shaft, and then replace
with new one.
INSTALLATION

Refer to RAX-10, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
1. Side flange 2. Cotter pin
Refer to GI-11, "
