Installation
Install wheel hub by reversing removal procedure noting
the following instructions.
• Insert new wheel stud bolt in wheel hub hole and rotate it slowly to assure serrations are aligned with
those made by replaced bolt.
• Never apply grease to encoder (1).
• Install new rear axle nut (1) and tighten to specified torque.
CAUTION!
Never reuse rear axle nut. Otherwise, nut may
loosen.

Tightening torque
Rear axle nut (a): 175 N·m (17.5 kgf-m, 126.5 lb-ft) • Caulk new rear axle nut (1) as shown.
CAUTION!
Take care while staking nut. If a split occurs
in staked area of nut,
replace it with new one.

Stake specification
“a”: 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) or more
• Install new spindle cap.
Rear Wheel Disc, bolt and Bearing InspectionS7RS0B2306013
• Check tightness of wheel nuts and, if necessary, retighten to specified torque.
• Check wheel disc deformation, damage, crack and etc.
Replace defective disc with new one.
• Check installation face insi de of wheel disc for rust.
As rust affects adversely, remove it thoroughly.
Tightening torque
Wheel nut: 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
• Check wear of wheel bearings. When measuring thrust play, apply a dial gauge to axle shaft center.
When the thrust play exce eds limit, replace bearing.

General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS7RS0B3101001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.

Disassembly
Tripod joint
CAUTION!
• Disassembly of wheel side joint is not allowed. If any noise or damage exists in it,
replace it as assembly.
• Do not disassemble tripod joint spider. If any malcondition is found in it, replace it
as differential side joint assembly.

1) Remove differential side (or center shaft side) boot
big band (1) as follows.
• For boot big band without joint:Remove boot big band by tapping boot and band
with plastic hammer. If it is hard to remove boot
big band, cut it using a nipper or an iron saw with
care not to damage joint housing.
• For boot big band with joint: Draw hooks of boot big band together and remove
band. 2) Wipe off grease from shaft and take off snap ring (1)
using snap ring pliers (2).
3) Remove tripod joint spid er (1) using 3 arms puller
(2).
CAUTION!
To prevent any problem caused by washing
solution, do not wash tripod joint except its
housing. Degreasing of tr ipod joint with cloth
is allowed.

4) Remove boot band as follows.
a) Remove differential side (or center shaft side) boot small band, and then pull out differential
side (or center shaft side) boot from shaft.
b) Remove damper band, and then pull out damper through shaft, if equipped.

Reassembly
Tripod joint
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and
what is found through visual check of component parts
after disassembly, prepare replacing parts and proceed
to reassembly.
Make sure that wheel side joint assembly (1) and tripod
joint housing (2) are washed thoroughly and air dried.
Replace boot(s) (3) with new one(s).
CAUTION!
• Do not wash boots in degreaser such as gasoline or kerosene. etc. Washing in
degreaser causes deterioration of boot.
• To ensure full performance of joint as designed, be sure to distinguish between
two types of grease in repair set and apply
specified volume to respective joint
referring to the followings for identification
of the grease.

1) Wash disassembled parts (except boots). After washing, dry parts comp letely by blowing air.
2) Clean boots with cloth.
3) Apply grease to wheel side joint. Use specified grease in tube in wheel side boot set as a spare
parts.
Grease color
: Black
Amount
: 55 – 75 g (1.9 – 2.6 oz)
4) Install wheel side boot on shaft.
5) Fill up boot inside with specified grease.
6) Place new wheel side boot big band (3) and small band (4) onto boot putting band outer end (1) against
forward rotation (2) as shown in figure.
