• Remove drive shaft from transaxle using Tool and drive shaft puller or suitable tool.
- Set Tool and a drive shaft puller or suitable tool between drive
shaft (slide joint side) and transaxle as shown, then remove
drive shaft.
12. Remove the differential oil seal. Refer to TM-197, "Removal and Installation"
(REOF10D), TM-398,
"Removal and Installation" (REOF10E).
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not use power tools to ti ghten the wheel hub lock nut.
• Do not reuse the cotter pin or the wheel hub lock nut.
• Install a new differential side oil seal. Refer to TM-197, "Removal and Installation"
(REOF10D), TM-398,
"Removal and Installation" (REOF10E).
- In order to prevent damage to differential oil seal, plac e Tool (A) onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as
shown.
• Install a new circlip on drive shaft in the circular clip groove on transaxle side. Refer to FAX-15, "Disassem-
bly and Assembly (LH)".
CAUTION:
Make sure the new circlip on the drive shaft is securely fastened.
