    NOTE:
    • Use a pry bar being careful not to damage the transmission and joint.
    • Do not insert the pry bar too deep, as this may cause damage to the oil seal.
    • Do not pull the drive shaft by excessive force it may cause components inside the joint kit to dislodge resulting in a torn boot or a damaged bearing.
    • Plug the hole of the transaxle case with the oil seal cap to prevent contamination.
    • Support the driveshaft properly.
      • Be careful that the drive shaft is not bent or drop down by other component's weight (such as axle etc.)
    • Replace the retainer ring whenever the driveshaft is removed from the transaxle case.
