Withdrawal
1. Loosen the wheel nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and secure it to the stands. Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the stands. Remove the front wheel.
2. Turn away a nut of a nave of a leading semiaxis. To prevent the hub from turning, insert a screwdriver through the caliper into the air vent of the disc, then unscrew the nut (see illustration).
2.2. A screwdriver inserted through the caliper into the disc vent will hold the hub stationary while loosening the hub nut
3. Remove the brake caliper (do not disconnect the brake hose) and drive and tie the caliper aside on the wire (see chapter 9, sections 3 and 4).
4. Separate the swing arm from the steering knuckle (see chapter 10, section 5).
5. Remove the axle shaft from the hub, then tie up the outer end of the axle shaft with a wire to prevent damage to the inner constant velocity joint (see illustration). If the axle shaft is firmly held in the hub, pull it out of the hub using a puller.
2.5. Turn the wheel away from the gearbox and remove the axle shaft. When disconnecting the inner end and removing from the vehicle, support the axle shaft in position at this level
6. Using a large screwdriver or pry bar, pry the inner joint out of the gearbox (see illustration).
2.6. Using a large screwdriver or pry bar (arrow), push the inner end of the axle shaft out of the gearbox
7. Support the CV joints and carefully remove the axle shaft from the vehicle.
Installation
8. Lubricate the differential seals with multipurpose grease, then, while supporting the constant velocity joints, raise the axle shaft to the desired level and insert the splined end of the inner constant velocity joint into the differential side gear. Install the shaft in the gear by positioning the blade of the screwdriver in the groove of the constant velocity joint and putting the axle shaft in place, tapping with a hammer (see illustration).
2.8. To install the constant velocity joint into the gearbox, you can use a large screwdriver or punch, positioning it in the groove on the joint housing
9. Grasp the inner CV joint housing (but not for the axle) and pull outwards to make sure the axle shaft is firmly seated in its place.
10. Apply a light coat of multipurpose grease to the pivot splines, pull it out over the strut/steering knuckle assembly and install the axle shaft in the hub.
11. Insert the ball joint pin of the lower suspension arm into the steering knuckle and tighten the nut. Don't forget to use a new pin (see chapter 10, section 5).
12. Install the brake disc and caliper (if necessary, refer to chapter 9, sections 3 and 4).
13. Tighten the hub nut. Secure the disc so that it cannot rotate using a screwdriver or punch inserted through the caliper into the disc vent and tighten the hub nut to the torque specified in this chapter's specifications.
14. Install the wheel and lower the vehicle. Tighten the wheel nuts to the torque specified in the specifications chapter 1.
15. Install the wheel cover.
