PROCEDURE

INSTALL FRONT DRIVE SHAFT HOLE SNAP RING LH
1. Install a new front drive shaft hole snap ring LH.
  Note
  - Do not damage the spline of the front drive inboard joint assembly LH.
  - Front drive shaft hole snap ring LH should be installed completely.
INSTALL FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY LH
1. Coat the spline of the front drive inboard joint assembly LH with Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
2. Coat the snap ring of the front drive inboard joint assembly LH with MP grease.
3. Coat the lip of the front drive shaft oil seal LH with MP grease.
4. Align the splines and tap in the front drive shaft assembly LH with a brass bar and hammer.
  Note
  
  Using MP grease, set the front drive shaft hole snap ring LH in the groove with the opening facing downwards and centered radially.
  
  Do not damage the front drive shaft oil seal LH, front axle inboard joint boot and front drive shaft dust cover LH.
  
  Make sure to follow the proper handling and installation procedures. If the front drive shaft assembly LH is installed at too large an angle or slides too much, it may fall out of the groove of the tripod joint.
  
  Do not tap the end of the front drive outboard joint shaft assembly LH with a hammer, etc.
  Tech Tips
  
  Determine whether the front drive shaft assembly LH is completely tapped in by checking for changes in the tapping sound or the reaction of the brass bar.
