REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
| WARNING | Vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system. When servicing vehicle, use care to avoid accidental air bag deployment. SIR system-related components are located in various locations throughout interior and exterior of vehicle, depending on application. Do not use electrical test equipment on or near these circuits. If necessary, deactivate SIR system before servicing components. See AIR BAG DEACTIVATION PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION. |
| CAUTION | When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. |
- Remove axle shaft assemblies. See appropriate FWD AXLE SHAFTS article in DRIVELINE/AXLES. Remove oil seals.
- Apply transmission fluid to NEW oil seals. Install differential side oil seals. Ensure dimensions "A" and "B" are within specification. (Scheme 143) Dimension "A" should be.217-.256" (5.50-6.50 mm). Dimension "B" should be plus or minus.020" (.5 mm). Reinstall axle shaft assemblies. Add fluid as necessary.
