<<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)].

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.
