Lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel (loosen the nuts before lifting); remove the central fixing nut of the half shaft from the hub, disconnect the suspension arm ball joint from the hub, remove the plastic cover, unscrew the fixing bolts of the half shaft flange to the gearbox; slide the half shaft out first from the hub side (reapply the nut to avoid damaging the thread and give it a few taps with a hammer) and then from the gearbox side; proceed in reverse order to install the new half shaft (it can also be purchased as a refurbished or rebuilt aftermarket part).

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
