DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
FRONT AXLE26-16
CAUTION
•Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will
damage the TJ; be sure to use the pry bar.
•When pulling the drive shaft out from the
transmission, be careful that the spline part of
the drive shaft does not damage the oil seal.
3. Insert a pry bar between the transmission case
and the drive shaft, and then pry and remove the
drive shaft from the transmission.4. Use special tool plug (MB991460) to prevent the
entry of foreign material into the transmission
case.
CAUTION
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 in
moving the vehicle, temporarily secure the wheel
bearing by using the following special tools.

RUBBER/SELF-LOCKING NUT
(STABILIZER BAR CONNECTION)
INSTALLATION
Install the stabilizer rubber and collar as shown in the
figure, and tighten the self-locking nut so that the
protruding length of the stabilizer bar mounting bolt
protruding part meets its standard value (A).
Standard value (A): 22 ± 1.5 mm
>>C<< WASHER/DRIVE SHAFT NUT
INSTALLATION
1. Be sure to install the drive shaft washer in the
specified direction.
CAUTION
Before securely tightening the drive shaft nuts,
make sure there is no load on the wheel
bearings. Otherwise the wheel bearing will be
damaged.
2. Using special tool end yoke holder (MB990767),
tighten the drive shaft nut to the specified torque.

GENERAL INFORMATION
REAR AXLE27-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1271000100304
The rear axle has the following features:
•The wheel bearing is a unit ball bearing
(double-row angular contact ball bearing) which
incorporates the oil seals and is highly resistant
to a thrust load.•ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speeds is
press-fitted to the rear hub in vehicles with ABS.

REAR AXLE HUB ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONM1271002000381
CAUTION
•Care must be taken not to scratch or damage the teeth of the ABS rotor. The ABS rotor must never
be dropped. If the teeth of the ABS rotor are chipped, resulting in a deformation of the ABS rotor,
it will not be able to accurately detect the wheel rotation speed, and the system will not function
normally.
•The rear hub assembly should not be dismantled. When removing the rear hub assembly, the
wheel bearing inner race may be left at the spindle side. In this case, always replace the rear hub
assembly, otherwise the hub will damage the oil seal, causing oil leaks or excessive play.
