REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION


caution
  • When removing and installing the driveshaft assembly, make sure that the magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.
  • The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is magnetised. Make sure that the magnetic encoder should not collect metallic particles. Check that there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.
  • When removing and installing the front wheel speed sensor, make sure that the pole piece at the end does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.
