pat19581 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 this is from the haynes manual left hand driveshaft removal remove the road wheel trim/hub cap (as applicable) then apply the handbrake, and partially slacken the hub bolt with the vehicle resting on its wheels note that the hub is very tight, and a suitable extension bar will probably be requierd to aid slackening.also slacken the roadwheel securing bolts 2apply the handbrake then jack up the front of the car and support it on axle stands remove wheel 3 remove the two retaining nuts and four screws (2 each side) then remove the undershields from beneath the engine/transmission unit to gain access to the driveshafts 4undo the retaining nut anddetach the antiroll bar link rod from the suspension strut.use a open ended spanner to stop the link rod balljoint from rotating5 release the brake hose and abs harness from the retaining brackets on the suspension strut 6slacken and remove the two retaining allen bolts and separate the lower arm balljoint from the hub carrier 7 fully unscrew the driveshaft to hub bolt and washer, and pull the hub carrier from the driveshaft end do not allow the driveshaft to hang down under its own weight or joint may be damaged AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MODELS 8 disconnect the transmission range sensor wiring plug from the rear of the casing.using a multi splined tool slacken and remove the bolts securing the inner driveshaft joint to the transmission flange and where applicable recover the retaining plates from underneath the bolts. manoever the driveshaft from under the car MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODELS 10 using a lever carefully prise the inner joint from the final drive casing ensure the lever does not damage the seal surfaces of the inner joint. manoever the driveshaft from under the car be prepared for oil spillage thats the left hand drive shaft if you need the right hand side just ask its slightly difarente Quote
