When reinstalling the drive axle in Pathfinder models, inspect the needle bearing in the knuckle for wear and ensure the correct orientation.

Connect the ball joint to the control arm, check the O-rings on the drive flange, and finalize the installation.

Unbolt the inner ends of the drive axles and support them with pieces of wire from the underbody.

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.
