This procedure applies only to the models produced up to 1997. First of all, loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels and then safely lift the front part of the car and put it on a jack stand and remove the wheels. Secondly, unbolt the front brake calipers and position them using some wire up and away but, do not overthrow the brake hoses. Move to eliminate the locking hubs, wheel bearings as well as the locknuts. Pull the nuts off the spindle to the steering knuckle but do this gently then strike the spindle gently with a plastic or soft-faced hammer to free it then pull it out. Remove the spindle seat, then with the carrier in position on the left side of the vehicle pull the shaft and joint assembly out of the carrier, tapping the slinger off the shaft with a hammer if required as it requires a press to refit. On the right side, take out the metal clamps both on the shaft and joint assembly and the stub shaft, the rubber boot is placed on the stub shaft, and then, pull the shaft and joint assembly off the splines. When performing the spindle bearing and oil seal, secure the spindle in a padded vise and remove the bearing and oil seal with the help of a slide hammer and puller attachment, clean the spindle bore and put the new bearing into the spindle bore with the manufacturer's mark facing out by using the spindle bearing replacer and driver handle. Same tools are used to set the seal with lip towards the installer and apply high temperature lubricant to the coating. For the shaft and joint assembly universal joint replacement the internal snap-rings should be removed from the U-joint with a screwdriver, the shaft and the yoke should be marked for assembly purposes. The rest of the procedure is carried out in the similar manner as in the case of the driveshaft universal joints. For installation, if the slinger was removed from the spindle, have it pressed on by a machine shop. On the right side of the carrier, position the rubber boot and new metal clamps presented on the stub shaft slip yoke with position of the yoke ears to be correct. Feed the shaft and the joint part through the knuckle on the left side with the splines led into the carrier. Mount the splash shield and then the spindle on the steering knuckle and tighten the two nuts of the spindle to the recommended torque. Last screw in the front wheel bearings and locking hubs, then brake caliper and then put the front wheels and lower the car and tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer recommended torque.
