    Q:
    What are the steps for removing the intermediate Axle Shaft for the 2003 Saturn Vue? Posted by Gwen N.
    A:
    Remove the right driveaxle, O-ring seal, unscrew the bolts from the bearing retainer, and pull the intermediate shaft from the transaxle. Lubricate the transaxle seal, guide the intermediate shaft into the side gear, install the mounting nuts, and ensure the shaft is engaged. Put the O-ring and a new wheel-retaining clip on the shaft, completing the installation in reverse order. You can Select Your Vehicle to see complete installation and repair tips.
