The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily,
because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic
encoder does not collect metallic particles.

｠

When removing the driveshaft, make sure that it does not
contact with the magnetic encoder (integrated with the
inner oil seal) to avoid damage.

1.

If the driveshaft is seized with the hub, use special tools
MB990242 and MB990244, MB990767 and MB991354 to
push the driveshaft assembly out from the hub.
