The inner ends of the drive axles are equipped with sliding constant velocity (CV) joints, while the outer ends have "ball-and-cage" type CV joints.

When reinstalling the drive axle in Pathfinder models, inspect the needle bearing in the knuckle for wear and ensure the correct orientation. Install the thrust washer on the drive axle with the chamfer facing the axle's center. Lubricate necessary parts, guide the drive axle into position, and reconnect it. Connect the ball joint to the control arm, check the O-rings on the drive flange, and finalize the installation.

Proceed by removing the wheel, brake drum, and brake shoes. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the lever on the trailing shoe and unbolt the cable casing from the backing plate. Additionally, disconnect the hydraulic line fitting from the wheel cylinder.

Overhauling the differential is not typically a cost-effective endeavor for a do-it-yourselfer. Instead, any further work involving the differential should be entrusted to a qualified repair shop with the appropriate expertise and equipment.

Start by raising the vehicle and securely supporting it on jackstands.

For other models not mentioned earlier, disconnect the parking brake cables from the crank levers on the backing plates. Unscrew the nuts from the spring U-bolts and remove the spring plates.
