Lift the vehicle on suitable car stands and remove the wheel corresponding to the repair area. Before removing the half shaft, locate the hole on the half shaft itself on the gearbox side and use a punch to extract the retaining elastic pin. Then, remove the nut located at the centre of the hub and those securing the hub to the shock absorber to allow the extraction of the half shaft first from the gearbox side and then from the wheel side.

Insert a new elastic pin into the appropriate hole of the half shaft, ensuring not to exceed the thickness to allow it to fit onto the splines. Complete the installation by inserting the half shaft with the pin hole correctly aligned, drive in the pin, and tighten the hub securing nut.
