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 4WD vehicle, be sure to first drain all the transaxle oil and transfer oil. If removal and installation is carried out without draining these oils, the transfer oil will flow into the transaxle side. Extensive repairs will be required if the two oils mix.
