<<D>> DRIVESHAFT REMOVAL

CAUTION

• The magnetic encoder collects any metallic

particle easily, because it is magnetized. Make
sure that the magnetic encoder does not col-
lect any metallic particle.

When the driveshaft is removed, make sure
that it does not contact with the magnetic
encoder to avoid damage.

Use the following special tools to push out the drive-
shaft from the hub.

• Front hub & flange yoke holder (MB990767)

• Axle shaft puller (MB990241)

CAUTION

• The magnetic encoder collects any metallic

particle easily, because it is magnetized. Make
sure that the magnetic encoder should not
collect any metallic particle. Check that there
is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.

Before securely tightening the driveshaft
nuts, make sure there is no load on the wheel
bearings. Otherwise the wheel bearings will
be damaged.

1. Be sure to install the driveshaft washer in the

specified direction.

2. Using special tool front hub & flange yoke holder

(MB990767), tighten the driveshaft nut to the
specified torque.

3. Measure the wheel bearing starting torque by

using the following special tools.

• Torque wrench (MB990685)

• Preload socket (MB990326)

Limit: 1.6 N

⋅m <4A9>, 1.76N⋅m <4G1>

Tighten the nut
with the bolt
secured

1. Measure to determine whether the wheel bearing

axial play is within the limit or not by using the
following special tools.

• Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)

• Spacer (MB991000)

Limit: 0.05 mm

2. If the play is not within the limit range while the nut

is tightened to 245

± 29 N⋅m, the bearing, hub

and/or knuckle have probably not been installed
correctly. Replace the bearing and re-install.
