Right and left axle shafts cannot be interchanged. Begin by raising the car and removing the front wheel. Use a suitable drift to release the staked side of the axle nut, then remove the center cap and reinstall the wheel before lowering the vehicle to the ground. With an assistant holding down the brake, remove the collar axle nut, ensuring not to reuse it. Raise the car again and remove the front wheel; if necessary, take out the spare tire carrier tray. Remove the stabilizer bar and lower or remove the exhaust. Next, remove the axle shaft CV joint bolts and, if needed, free the axle from the differential drive flange using a suitable pry tool. Press the axle shaft from the drive flange at the wheel side with a suitable press tool and remove the axle toward the middle of the vehicle. For installation, reverse the removal process, using a new collar nut and applying a light coating of oil to the contact face of the collar nut before tightening it firmly, but not to final torque. Install the road wheel and lower the car to the ground. With an assistant applying the brakes, tighten the axle shaft collar nut to its final torque and stake the collar nut.

Finally, install the front end reinforcement plate using new fasteners and check the front differential oil level.

It is directed through two drive axles.
