Removal (cont'd)
Remove the cotter pin from the lower arm ball ioint
castle nut, and remove the nut.
Install a 12 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Make sure
the hex nut is flush with the ball joint pin end, or the
threaded section of the ball joint pin might be dam-
aged by the special tool.
Use the special tool as shown in section '18 to sepa-
rate the ball joint and lower arm, Be caretul not to
damage the ball joint boot, lf necessary, apply pen-
etrating type lubricant to loosen the ball joint,
Pry out the driveshaft assembly with a pry bar, as
shown, to force the set ring at the driveshaft end
past the groove. Be careful not to damage the oil
seals when prying.

out to avoid damaging the differential oil seal or the
intermediate shaft outer seal.

Remove the left driveshaft from the bearing suppon
by tapping on the inboard joint of the driveshaft
with a olastic hammer.

OUTBOARD JOINT
Apply 0.5 - 1.0 g (0,02 - 0.04 oz) of specified grease to
the whole sDlined surface of the intermediate shaft.
After applying grease. remove the grease from the
splined grooves at intervals of 2 - 3 splines and from
the set ring groove so air can bleed from the inboard
ioint.
SET RINGReplace.
SET RING
Install a new set ring onto the driveshaft or interme-
diate shaft groove.
4. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the
differential thoroughly with solvent or carburetor
cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Insert the
inboard end of the driveshaft into the differential or
intermediate shaft until the set ring locks in the
groove.
INBOARD JOINT
INBOARD JOINT
lnstall the knuckle on the lower arm. Be careful not to
damage the ball joint boot. Wipe off the grease before
tightening the nut at the ball joint. Torque the castle
nut to the lower torque specification. then tighten it
only far enough to align the slot with the pin hole. Do
not align the nut by loosening. lnstall a new cotter pin.
