Precaution PRECAUTION

1. NOTICE OF REMOVING AND INSTALLING FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY RH

(a) When removing and installing the front drive shaft assembly RH in a AWD vehicle, be sure to first drain all the transaxle oil and transfer oil. If removal and installation are carried out without draining these oils, the transfer oil will flow into the transaxle side. Extensive cleaning will be required if the two oils mix.
