Removal 1. Remove cotter pin, nut lock and spring washer. Loosen axle nut and wheel lug nuts. Raise and support vehicle. Remove axle nut and front wheel. Tap axle shaft end lightly using brass hammer to free axle shaft from hub splines. Remove lower ball joint clamp bolt. Separate lower ball joint from steering knuckle. 2. Pull out on hub/steering knuckle assembly, and separate axle shaft from hub. Grasp both CV joints at outer housings to prevent separation, and pull axle shaft out of transaxle or intermediate shaft. Remove axle shaft from vehicle. CAUTION: Remove speedometer drive pinion before removing right axle shaft.
