Removal
1. Loosen the drive shaft nut.
There is no need to remove the brake caliper.
Do not twist or stretch the brake hose when moving parts.
2. Remove the bolts securing the telescopic strut to the steering knuckle.
3. Remove the brake hose clamp.
4. Using light blows of a hammer, knock the drive shaft out of the hub. Wrap the standard covers with a rag so as not to damage them when removing the shaft.
5. Disconnect the right drive shaft from the gearbox.
6. Disconnect the left drive shaft from the gearbox.
For manual transmission:
Disconnect the shaft using a lever (for example, screwdrivers).
For automatic transmission:
Insert a screwdriver into the hole for the right shaft and knock out the left shaft.
Be careful not to damage the pinion shaft and axle gear.
Installation
From the gearbox side:
1. Press the new oil seal into the gearbox (see chapter "Manual transmission" or "Automatic transmission").
2. Install the KV38106800 tool onto the inner edge of the oil seal.
3. Insert the drive shaft into the gearbox. Make sure the splines are aligned correctly, then pull out the tool.
4. Press the shaft until the retaining ring on the end of the shaft fits into the groove of the axle gear,
5. After installing the shaft, try to pull it out by the joint housing. If the shaft gives way, the locking ring is not fixed in the axle gear.
From the wheel side:
Insert the drive shaft into the hub and tighten the nut (see section "Hub and steering knuckle").
