Removal and Replacement of the Drive Shaft

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Drivetrain

This video illustrates how to remove or replace your drive shaft. First, position the car on a jack and raise it; then proceed to remove the wheel. Once these steps are completed, start by unscrewing the hub nut and removing the caliper and brake discs. This way, you have removed all the parts that obstruct the extraction of your drive shaft. Begin unscrewing the support nuts of the shaft to start sliding it out from both ends: one end needs to be removed from the gearbox while the other from the differential.
