Mopar 4641855AA Shaft Axle Half

To remove the wheel, set the parking brake and remove the wheel cover or hubcap. Then, remove the cotter pin, lock nut, and spring washer from the stub axle. Loosen, but do not remove, the axle shaft/hub nut and the wheel lug nuts. Raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Remove the front wheel lug nuts and the wheel. Remove the brake caliper and disc. If equipped with antilock brakes, remove the speed sensor cable routing bracket from the steering knuckle. Remove the two steering knuckle-to-strut bracket bolts. Remove the axle shaft/hub nut and pull the steering knuckle away from the outer CV joint of the axle shaft. Support the outer end of the axle shaft and insert a prybar between the inner CV joint and the transaxle case. Pry out sharply to disengage the inner CV joint from the transaxle. Carefully withdraw the inner CV joint from the transaxle, being careful not to let the spline or the snap-ring drag across the sealing lip of the axle shaft oil seal. To install, thoroughly clean the splines and bearing shield on the outer CV joint and the wheel bearing area of the steering knuckle. Thoroughly clean the splines and oil seal sealing surface on the inner CV joint and apply an even bead of multi-purpose grease around the oil seal sealing surface. When installing the axle shaft, push it sharply in to seat the snap ring on the inner CV joint stub shaft into its groove in the differential gears inside the transaxle. Pull out on the inner CV joint housing to ensure it's seated. Tighten the steering knuckle-to-strut bolts and the axle shaft/hub nut. Finally, tighten the lug nuts.
