<< E >> Front Hub Assembly And Front Driveshaft Assembly Disconnection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

The magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is magnetized. Make sure that the magnetic encoder does not collect metallic particles.
When removing the front driveshaft, make sure that it does not contact with the magnetic encoder (integrated with the inner oil seal) to avoid damage.
