<<B>> DRIVESHAFT REMOVAL

1. Use special tools MB990242, MB990244, MB991354 and

MB990767 to push out the driveshaft from the hub.

CAUTION

• Do not pull out the driveshaft from the EUJ assembly

side. Otherwise, the ETJ assembly will be damaged. Be
sure to remove the driveshaft from the ETJ assembly
side, by using a lever.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the dif-

ferential carrier is not damaged by the spline part of the
driveshaft.

2. Use a lever to remove the driveshaft (ETJ assembly side)

from the differential carrier.

CAUTION

Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing with
the driveshaft removed. If, however, the vehicle weight
shall be applied to the bearing (in order to move the vehi-
cle), use special tools MB990998 and MB991000 for tight-
ening to the specified torque [144

− 176 N⋅m (107 − 129

ft-lb)].

>>B<< WASHER/DRIVESHAFT NUT
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily,

because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic
encoder does not collect metallic particles. Check that
there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.

• When installing the drive shaft, make sure that it does

not contact with the magnetic encoder (integrated with
the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.

• Do not apply the vehicle weight on the rear wheel hub

assembly before fully tightening the driveshaft nuts.
Otherwise, the wheel bearing will be broken.

1. Assemble the driveshaft washer in the illustrated direction.
2. Use special tool MB990767 to tighten the driveshaft nuts. At

this time, tighten the nuts within the specified torque range
considering the final tightening.

Tightening torque: 144

− 176 N⋅m (107 − 129 ft-lb)

3. If the pin holes do not align with the pins, tighten the

driveshaft nut [less than 200 N

⋅m (147 ft-lb)] and find the

nearest hole then bend the cotter pin to fit it.
