How to remove and install the Stub Axle Shaft, Axle Shaft Seal and Wheel Bearing in a rear axle assembly on Mitsubishi Diamante?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before removing and installing the components, first disconnect the negative battery cable, then safely raise and support the vehicle. Take off the tire and wheel assembly then, if equipped with ABS, remove the rear wheel speed sensor without letting the tip of the pole piece make contact that might damage anything. After that, detach the rear caliper and support assembly, and then the brake disc. Remove the driveshaft and companion flange installation bolts, nuts and washers moving the end of the shaft slightly to get at the self-locking nut. Utilize an axle holding tool to steady the rear axle shaft before unfastening the self-locking nut. A puller with an adapter is to be used for the removal of the rear axle shaft from the trailing arm. Removal of the rear rotor from the axle assembly using a collar and press is performed on press fits if ABS is present. In parallel, use a press to remove the outer bearing and dust cover from the shaft axle. Then, use a puller to extract the oil seal and inner bearing from the trailing arm. Check the companion flange, axle shaft, dust cover, bearings for wears or damage and replace suitably. To install, you will need to press fit the inner bearing onto the trailing arm. Then fit an oil seal with depression facing up until it contacts the shoulder on the inner arm. Tap it with a plastic hammer evenly. Now press fit the dust covers onto the axle until they contact the axle shaft shoulder. The innermost cover is one with the depression facing upwards. The inner side of the outer bearing seal lip is then applied with multi-purpose grease. Using the seal lip surface towards the axle shaft flange, the outer bearing is press fitted to the axle shaft. Perform a press fit of the rear rotor onto the axle shaft, orienting the groove surface towards the flange; temporarily install the rear axle shaft onto the rear trailing arm and the companion flange onto the rear axle shaft using a new self-locking nut. Tighten the new self-locking nut to 159 ft. lbs. while holding the back axle shaft in place. Two hundred twenty Newton-meters. Fit the drive shaft bolts, nuts and washers. Torque to 47 ft. lbs. (55 to 65 Nm). After, install the rear brake disc, caliper assembly, and parking brake. Then, tire and wheel assembly, lower the vehicle, and check the parking brake stroke for adjustment if needed. Be sure to pump the brake pedal until it feels firm before moving the vehicle.
