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.
