9. Remove drive shaft from transaxle.

Remove drive shaft from transaxle using drive shaft attach-
ment [SST] and a drive shaft puller (suitable tool) while insert-
ing tip of drive shaft attachment [SST] between housing and
transaxle as shown in the figure.

Make sure that circular clip is attached on the edge.
CAUTION:
Do not place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle when
removing drive shaft. Also be careful not to overextend
slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial directions. Check for motion that is not smooth and for signifi-
cant looseness.

Check boot for cracks, damage, and leakage of grease.

Disassemble drive shaft and exchange malfunctioning part if
there is a non-standard condition.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Always replace transaxle side oil seal with new one when installing drive shaft.

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque refer to FAX-11, "COMPONENT" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Place the protector [SST] onto transaxle to prevent damage to
the oil seal while inserting drive shaft. Slide drive shaft sliding
joint and tap with hammer to install securely.
CAUTION:
Make sure that circular clip is completely engaged.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT

9. Remove fixing bolts, and then separate drive shaft and support
bearing bracket.
10. Remove drive shaft from transaxle using a flat-bladed screw-
driver as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:

Do not place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle when
removing drive shaft. Also be careful not to overextend
slide joint.

Do not allow drive shaft to hang down without support for
housing (or joint sub-assembly), shaft and the other
parts.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial direction. Check for motion that is not smooth and for significant
looseness.

Check boot for cracks, damage, and leakage of grease.

Disassemble drive shaft and exchange malfunctioning part if
there is a non-standard condition.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Always replace transaxle side oil seal with new one when installing drive shaft.

Install in the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to FAX-13, "COMPONENT" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Place protector [SST] onto transaxle to prevent damage to the
oil seal while inserting drive shaft or side shaft. Slide drive shaft
sliding joint and tap with hammer to install securely.

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionBES0003G

When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be performed under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
–Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.

After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

Self-lock nut are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.
