In this guide, see the instructions that will allow you to remove and replace the entire rear axle of the Toyota Corolla. First, lift the vehicle and start removing the rear wheels; then disconnect the braking system from the suspension by unscrewing the pins found at the bottom and behind the brake drums, as shown in the video.

At this point, unscrew all the bolts of the rear half-shaft to remove it from the vehicle's chassis; then replace it with the new one, applying the reverse procedure for reassembling the suspension and braking system!
