– Disconnect left and right-hand drive shafts from flanges on

gearbox.

– Unbolt only left suspension link from swivel joint -arrows-.
– Swing left drive shaft into wheel housing onto longitudinal

member. This will keep the shaft out of the way during further

work.

The surface protection of the shafts must not be damaged. Plastic

cable ties or a pair of tensioning straps -T10038- are therefore

very good for this.
