Drive Axle Shafts: Removal

  1. Remove front wheels and inner fender splash guards. Carefully raise staked portion of axle nut. Apply brakes and loosen, but DO NOT remove, axle nut. Remove stabilizer bar-to-control arm nut, spacer and bolt.
  2. Remove lower control arm ball joint clamp bolt. Pry downward on lower control arm to separate control arm from knuckle. Remove knuckle-to-strut attaching bolts. Slide knuckle assembly off axle shaft, and remove from vehicle. If removing right drive axle, unbolt half-shaft support bearing bracket from engine block.
    NOTE: Right drive axle shaft does not require circlip on transaxle end of shaft.
  3. Pull outward on shaft with enough force to disengage axle circlip at transaxle end. DO NOT pull axle completely out of transaxle or seal may be damaged. If necessary, insert a pry bar between transaxle case and axle flange to disengage circlip. Carefully apply force to pry bar until axle circlip is disengaged.
  4. Carefully withdraw axle assembly from transaxle. Quickly install Transaxle Plug (T87C-7025-AH). Remove and discard axle nut. Pull axle from hub.
