  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL FRONT DRIVE INBOARD JOINT HOLE SNAP RING


    1. Install a new front drive inboard joint hole snap ring to the front drive shaft assembly.

      Note

      Front drive inboard joint hole snap ring should be installed completely.

  2. INSTALL FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY

    Tech Tips

    Install so that the gap between the front drive inboard joint assembly and the FCV transaxle with motor assembly is the same as the gap measured at the time of removal.


    1. Coat the splines of the front drive inboard joint assembly with ATF WS.

    2. Coat the front drive inboard joint hole snap ring of the front drive inboard joint assembly with MP grease.

    3. A01MHG7

      Align the front drive shaft assembly splines and FCV transaxle with motor assembly splines and tap in the front drive shaft assembly with a brass bar and hammer.

      Note


      • Face the end gap of the front drive inboard joint hole snap ring downward.

      • Do not damage the front drive shaft oil seal.

      • Do not damage the front axle inboard joint boot.

      • Make sure to center the front drive shaft assembly during installation to prevent damage to the front drive inboard joint hole snap ring.

    4. A01MIF0

      Apply TOYOTA body grease W to the entire contact surface between the front drive shaft assembly and front axle hub sub-assembly surface or only apply 0.1 to 0.3 g (0.00353 to 0.0105 oz.) of TOYOTA body grease W to the 4 areas on the axle hub bearing shown in the illustration.

      Note


      • Do not push the front axle assembly further out of the vehicle than is necessary.

      • Be careful not to damage the front axle outboard joint boot.

      • Be careful not to damage the front speed sensor rotor.

      • Check that there is no foreign matter on the contact surfaces.
