Toyota 43430-60060 Shaft Assembly

To remove an axle shaft, first, loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it on jack stands. Remove the wheels and drain the differential. Then, remove the grease cap, cotter pin, and nut lock. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to hold the axle shaft and break the hub nut loose with a breaker bar or brakes. Remove the nut, speed sensors, and outer tie rod ends. Disconnect the ball joint assembly and separate the lower control arm from the steering knuckle. Knock the axle shaft loose from the steering knuckle with a brass drift and hammer. Swing the steering knuckle outward and detach the axle shaft from the differential. To install, reverse the removal steps and tighten all fasteners to the torque specifications.
