A proper procedure to service and fix the disc brake axle shaft begins by lifting and supporting the vehicle while removing wheel and tire assemblies together with axle housing covers to drain lubricating fluid. The first step involves taking off
Brake Discs and calipers and the differential pinion shaft needs the removal of its lock bolt. Follow these steps for differential pinion shaft removal while preserving the rubber O-rings present in U-washer grooves until you take out the U-washers. Apply force to the axle shafts toward the inside while installing this step before removing the two axle shafts without damaging the wheel bearing oil seal. When setting up the wheel bearing oil seal apply grease to its lip before installing both axle shafts with attention to protecting rubber O-rings. The body of U-washers must be situated on axle shaft button ends prior to pulling the shafts outward. Install the differential pinion shaft by coating its threads with threadlock and aligning the case lock hole with the shaft hole before locking it with a new bolt when no replacement lock bolt is available. Reinstall the brake discs and calipers afterward attach the differential housing cover while filling the rear axle housing with precisely the recommended lubricant type. Cleaning all artifacts like corrosion and foreign objects from wheel mounting surfaces with the brake disc and wheel hub enables proper metal contact which helps keep wheels attached during movement. You should now install the tire together with its corresponding wheel assembly.
