Removal

Note. The PTU may leak different color fluids, red oil leak for automatic transmission fluid and brown/black gear lube for PTU fluid. The PTU seals prevent these types of fluids from leaking. It is important to note which color fluid is leaking to determine the most appropriate service procedure. This procedure will correct a brown/black (gear lube) leak from the RH side of the PTU. Refer to ANALYSIS OF LEAKAGE .

Note. This procedure is to be performed through the RH wheel opening. It is not necessary to remove the exhaust components to complete this repair.

  1. Remove the intermediate shaft seal and deflector. Refer to «INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SEAL AND DEFLECTOR»(ref-494586-S14870147372012081400000) .
  2. Remove the cover seal using the Slide Hammer, the extension from the Halfshaft Remover and a suitable seal puller inserted into the groove of the seal.

Note. For High Resolution: A video version of this procedure is available on-line.

Note. For Low Resolution: A video version of this procedure is available on-line.

Note. The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) may leak different color fluids, red fluid leak for automatic transmission fluid and brown/black gear lube for PTU fluid. The PTU seals prevent these types of fluids from leaking. It is important to note which color fluid is leaking to determine the most appropriate service procedure. This procedure will correct a red fluid leak (automatic transmission fluid) from the intermediate shaft seal on the RH side of the PTU. For additional information, refer to ANALYSIS OF LEAKAGE under Power Transfer Unit (PTU).

Note. This procedure is to be performed through the RH wheel opening. It is not necessary to remove the exhaust components to complete this repair.

  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to «JACKING & LIFTING»(ref-494560) .
  2. Remove the RH front wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to «WHEELS AND TIRES»(ref-494563) .
  3. Apply the brake to keep the halfshaft from rotating and remove the front wheel hub nut. Do not discard the nut at this time.
  4. Remove the brake flexible hose bracket bolt and disconnect the hose from the shock absorber.
  5. Disconnect the wheel speed sensor harness from the shock absorber bracket.
  6. Remove the RH brake disc. For additional information, refer to «FRONT DISC BRAKE»(ref-494591) .

  1. Place the intermediate shaft seal on the PTU Linkshaft Seal Installer and Driver Handle with the spring side facing away from the tool.
  2. Using the PTU Linkshaft Seal Installer and Driver Handle, install the intermediate shaft seal.
  3. Place the alignment washer on the PTU Linkshaft Seal Installer and Driver Handle.
  4. Using the PTU Linkshaft Seal Installer and Driver Handle, install the alignment washer by hand, pushing it in until it bottoms against the seal.
  5. Position the deflector on the PTU Linkshaft Seal Dust Shield Installer using silicone brake caliper grease and dielectric compound to retain it to the installer. Using a suitable heat gun, heat the back of the tool to a minimum of 71°C (160°F) and a maximum of 93°C (200°F) by concentrating the heat across the back of the installer while rotating the tool. Once the optimum temperature is achieved on the tool, move the heat gun to the front of the tool and heat the inside of the deflector where it snaps onto the PTU shaft until the temperature of the deflector is a minimum of 93°C (200°F) to a maximum of 100°C (212°F). As an alternative method to heating the seal deflector, place the deflector in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Dry off the deflector and install.
  6. Using a 5-pound or larger dead blow hammer, install the seal deflector immediately after heating using the PTU Linkshaft Seal Dust Shield Installer and Driver Handle.
  7. Make sure the deflector is completely seated all the way around and there are no cracks on the face. The deflector is correctly installed when the face of the deflector is recessed 3-5 mm (0.12-0.20 in) into the pocket all the way around.
  8. Once the deflector is fully seated, insert the seal protector into the PTU deflector ID.
  9. Apply a thin coat of silicone brake caliper grease and dielectric compound to the intermediate shaft seal journal.
  10. Partially install the intermediate and halfshaft assembly through the PTU deflector until the splines have cleared the seal protector. Pull the seal protector out of the deflector and off of the intermediate shaft. Complete the installation of the intermediate and halfshaft assembly.
  11. Fully install the intermediate and halfshaft assembly and the 2 bolts. Tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft)
  12. Using metal brake parts cleaner, thoroughly clean the deflector and intermediate shaft area of any residual fluid that may have accumulated during the repair.
  13. Position the halfshaft and ball joint into the wheel knuckle. Install the new ball joint bolt and nut. Tighten to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft).
  14. Position the stabilizer bar link and install the new nut. Tighten to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).
  15. Install the RH brake disc. For additional information, refer to «FRONT DISC BRAKE»(ref-494591) .
  16. Position the brake flexible hose bracket to the shock absorber and install the bolt. Tighten to 20 Nm (177 lb-in).
  17. Connect the wheel speed sensor harness to the shock absorber bracket.
  18. Apply the brake to keep the halfshaft from rotating. Using the previously removed wheel hub nut, seat the halfshaft into the front wheel hub. Tighten to 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). Remove and discard the wheel hub nut.
  19. Apply the brake to keep the halfshaft from rotating and install a new wheel hub nut. Tighten to 350 Nm (258 lb-ft).
  20. Install the RH front wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to «WHEELS AND TIRES»(ref-494563) .
  21. Fill the transaxle as necessary. For additional information, refer to «AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 6F50/6F55»(ref-494558) .
