1.The staked portion of the
driveshaft nut must face upwards.

|
2.
caution |
- Make sure that the lock
nut chisel is set in the correct
direction. Otherwise, the groove or
thread in the driveshaft
may be broken, or the tip of the chisel
may be chipped.
- Never use a chisel which tip is
damaged.
- For how to use the lock nut chisel,
refer to the manufacturer’s
operating
instructions.
|
Set the special tool lock nut chisel (MB992700) in
the groove of the driveshaft with its
"UPPER" mark facing upwards. Then strike the staked portion
of the driveshaft nut with the chisel
and a hammer to raise up.

|
3.
caution |
Be careful not to damage the
thread of the driveshaft.
|
Raise up the staked portion of the driveshaft nut
until it does not interfere with the
shaft thread.

|
4.
caution |
- Never use a impact wrench to loosen the
driveshaft nut.
- Do not apply the vehicle weight on the
wheel bearing with the driveshaft nut
loosened.
Otherwise, the wheel bearing may be
broken.
|
Use special tool front hub and flange yoke holder
(MB990767) to counter the hub as shown
in the figure to remove the driveshaft nut.
|

|
Use a hexagon wrench to remove the
stabilizer link and strut connection nut as shown in
the figure.
|

|
1.
caution |
- Loosen the self-locking
nut (tie-rod end connection) from the
ball joint, but do not remove here. Use
the special tool.
- To prevent the special tool from
dropping off, suspend it with a
cord.
|
Install special tool ball joint remover (MB991897 or
MB992011) as shown in the figure.
|
![](../../../img/26/AC104739AB00ENG.png)
|
2.Turn the bolt and knob to
make the special tool jaws parallel, then hand-tighten the
bolt.
After tightening, check that the jaws are still
parallel.
note |
To adjust the special tool
jaws to be parallel, set the orientation of the
knob as shown
in the figure.
|
3.Unscrew the bolt to disconnect the ball
joint.

1.
caution |
- The wheel speed detection magnetic
encoder collects metallic
particles easily, because it is
magnetised. Make sure that the magnetic
encoder does not collect metallic
particles.
- When removing the driveshaft, make sure
that it does not contact with the wheel
speed detection magnetic encoder
(integrated with the inner oil seal) to
avoid damage.
|
If the driveshaft is seized with the hub, use the
following special tools to push the
driveshaft assembly out from the hub:
- Puller shaft (MB990242)
- Puller bar (MB990244)
- Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767)
- Puller body (MB991354)
|

|
2.While pulling the lower
side of the brake disc toward you, remove the driveshaft
assembly
from the hub.
caution |
- Never pull out the driveshaft
assembly from the EBJ assembly side.
Otherwise, the PTJ assembly may be
damaged. Always pull
out from the PTJ side with a
lever.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the
oil seal of the transmission is not
damaged
by the spline part of the driveshaft
assembly.
|

|
3.For driveshafts other than
2WD-RH driveshaft, insert a lever between the transmission
case or transfer and driveshaft assembly, and then pull the
driveshaft assembly out from the transmission.
|

|
caution |
Do not apply the vehicle
weight to the wheel bearing with the driveshaft
assembly removed.
If, however, the vehicle weight shall be applied
to the bearing (in order to move the vehicle),
tighten the following special tools to the
specified torque (250 ± 25
N·m):
- Spacer (MB991000)
- Front hub remover and installer
(MB991017)
|
|
![](../../../img/26/AC504925AB00ENG.png)
|
caution |
- The wheel speed detection 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 installing the driveshaft, make
sure that it does not contact with the
wheel
speed detection magnetic encoder
(integrated with the inner oil seal) to
avoid damage.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the
oil seal of the transmission is not
damaged
by the spline part of the driveshaft
assembly.

|
Use a hexagon wrench to install the
stabilizer link and strut connection nut as shown
in the figure.
|
|
1.Check the hub seated
surface for damage or corrosion. Whenever solvent is used
for
removing the corrosion, the surface should be
degreased.
|
|
2.Check that the new
driveshaft nut can be turned smoothly by hand. Then tighten
it
until it is seated.
|
![](../../../img/26/ACA01201AB00ENG.png)
|
3.Using special tool front
hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767), tighten the
driveshaft
nut. Tightening torque: 250 ± 25
N·m 4.After tightening to the
specified torque, check that the nut is seated
securely.
|
![](../../../img/26/ACA01211AD00ENG.png)
|
5.Use the chisel and a
hammer to stake the nut until the centre in the staked
portion reaches
the shown dimension. 6.Finally, check that the nut
is not cracked at its staked portion.
