3. Remove the tie rod end ball joint (C) from the knuckle. Remove the split pin (A). Remove the castle nut (B). Tightening torque: 34.3 ~ 44.1 N.m (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.5 lb-ft)
4. Disconnect the ball joint (A) from knuckle using the special tool (09568-4A000).
5. Remove the lower arm (A) mounting bolt and nut from the knuckle. Tightening torque: 98.0 ~ 117.6 N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0 kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.7 lb-ft)
6. Using a plastic hammer (A), disconnect driveshaft (C) from the axle hub (B).
7. Remove the RH side cover (A). Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
8. Loosen the inner shaft mounting bolts and then disconnect the inner shaft (A). Tightening torque: 49.0 ~ 68.6 N.m (5.0 ~ 7.0 kgf.m, 36.2 ~ 50.6 lb-ft) Information By the shape and the engine bracket bolts are mounted differently.
9. Insert a pry bar (A) between the transaxle case and joint case, and separate the drive shaft (B) from the transaxle case.
10. Install in the reverse order of removal. NOTE: Use a pry bar being careful not to damage the transaxle and joint. Do not insert the pry bar too deep, as this may cause damage to the oil seal. Do not pull the driveshaft by excessive force it may cause components inside the joint kit to dislodge resulting in a torn boot or a damaged bearing. Plug the hole of the transaxle case with the oil seal cap to prevent contamination. Support the driveshaft properly. Replace the retainer ring whenever the driveshaft is removed from the transaxle case.
11. Check the front alignment. Refer to «FRONT ALIGNMENT»(/hyundai/santa-fe/iii-2012-2016/remont/suspension-front/#front-suspension-system-wheel-alignment) .

1. Remove the Front Driveshaft. Refer to «FRONT DRIVESHAFT»(/hyundai/santa-fe/iii-2012-2016/remont/driveshaft-universal-joints/#driveshaft-assembly) .
2. Remove the housing circlip (B) from the driveshaft spline (A).
3. Remove both boot bands from the TJ housing.
4. Remove the TJ housing (A). Information Make alignment marks on spider roller assembly (A), joint case (B), and shaft spline (C) to aid reassembly.
5. Remove the retainer ring (A) from the shaft.
6. Remove the spider assembly (B) from the driveshaft (A) using the special tool (09495-33000).
7. Clean the spider assembly.
8. Remove the TJ boot (A). Information For reusing the boot (A), wrap tape (B) around the driveshaft splines (C) to protect the boot (A).

Inspection

1. Check the spider assembly for roller rotation, wear or corrosion.
2. Check the groove inside the joint case for wear or corrosion
3. Check the TJ boots for damage and deterioration.

Scheme 30

1. Wrap tape around the driveshaft spline (TJ) to prevent damage to the boot.
2. Using the alignment marks (D) made during disassembly as a guide, install the spider assembly (A) and retainer ring (B) on the driveshaft splines (C).
3. Add specified grease to the joint boot as much as it was wiped away at inspection.
4. Install the both boot band.
5. Using the SST (09495-3K000), secure the TJ boot bands. Clearance (A): 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.) or less
6. Install the front driveshaft. Refer to «FRONT DRIVESHAFT»(/hyundai/santa-fe/iii-2012-2016/remont/driveshaft-universal-joints/#driveshaft-assembly) .
