(1) Put the washer and boot band on the center propeller
shaft.
(2) Wrap the splined end of center propeller shaft with
adhesive tape.
(3) Install the Lobro joint boot on the center propeller shaft and then remove the adhesive tape on the splined end
of the propeller shaft.
(4) Assemble the Lobro joint as follows:
@ Apply a thin coat of the specified grease to the ball grooves of the inner and outer races.
Specified grease: Repair kit grease
@ Put the cage on the inner race with the mating marks aligned and install two balls, one in a groove
and the other in the groove opposite to that groove. Both balls should be placed in the grooves where
they were before disassembly.
@I Assemble the inner race and cage in the outer race with their mating marks aligned.
NOTE
Make sure that the recessed end (where snap ring
will be fitted) of the inner race, the recessed end (where packing will be fitted) of the outer race, and
the chamfered end of the cage are all on the same
side. Also ensure that the relative positions of the
inner and outer races are as shown in the illustra-
tion.
@I Install the remaining balls in their original positions.
@ Check that the outer race rotates on the inner race smoothly.

(6) Apply a thin and even coat of the specified grease to the rubber packing and fit the packing in the boot side end
of the Lobro joint assembly.
Specified grease: Repair kit grease
Caution
For the
Lobro joint assembly, the side that has the
concave part (for the rubber packing) in the outer
race is the Lobro joint boot side.
(7) Install the Lobro joint assembly on the rear propeller shaft while aligning their bolt holes, and drive the joint
assembly with a hammer using a socket wrench on the
inner race for complete installation.
(8) Secure the inner race with the snap ring.
(9) Realign the bolt holes in the boot and Lobro joint assembly utilizing the mounting bolts and fit the boot on
the joint assembly.
(10)Secure the boot with the boot band.
Caution Position the boot band clip on the side opposite to
the bosses which are provided in the boot for
ventilation. Be sure to remove grease, if present,
from around the bosses. Grease obstructs the
ventilation air passage.

1. Jack up the vehicle and remove the front wheels.
2. Remove the disc brake caliper and suspend it with a wire.
(Refer to GROUP
35-Service Adjustment Procedures.)
3.Attach a dial indicator as shown in the illustration, and then measure the axial play while moving the hub back and
forth.
Limit: 0.2 mm (.008 in.) or less
4.If axial play exceeds the limit, disassemble and check parts.

(2) Measure to determine whether the end play of the hub
is within the specified limit or not.
Limit: 0.2 mm
(.008 in.) or less
(3)If the starting torque and hub end play are not within the
limit range while the nut is tightened to 200-260 Nm
(144-
188 ft.lbs.), the bearing, hub and/or knuckle have
probably not been installed correctly. Repeat the
disassembly and assembly procedure.

(1) Use the general service tool to push out the drive shaft
from the front hub.
(2) Insert a pry bar between the transaxle case and thedrive shaft, and then pry the drive shaft from the
transaxle.
Caution
1. Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will
damage the T.J.; be sure to use the pry bar.
2.Do not insert the pry bar so deep as to damage
the oil seal.
Caution
Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing
while the drive shaft is disconnected. If the vehicle
weight must unavoidably be applied (because of
vehicle movement or some other reason), use the
special tool to hold the wheel bearing, as shown in the
figure.

COTTER PIN
(1) Be sure to install the washer and wheel bearing nut in
the specified direction.
(2) After installing the wheel, lower the vehicle to the
ground and finally tighten the wheel bearing nut.
(3) If the position of the cotter pin holes does not match, tighten the nut up to 260 Nm (188
ft.lbs.) in maximum.
(4) Install the cotter pin in the first matching holes and
bend it securely.
