Renault Clio: Driveshaft: Precautions for the repair
DP0 or JH3 or JR5 or TL4
WARNING
A gearbox oil leak at the driveshaft may destroy it.
WARNING
Always replace seals whenever the driveshaft is
removed.
WARNING
Grease the base of the bearing using BR 2 +
grease to prevent the bearing from sticking.
Make sure that the O-ring is correctly positioned in
the base of the relay bearing, if the bearing has
one.
WARNING
Always replace the O-ring, if fitted to the bearing.
WARNING
Always replace the relay bearing support plate.
WARNING
Always replace the left-hand driveshaft locking
spring ring, if the driveshaft has one.
WARNING
In order to prevent irreversible damage to the front
hub bearing:
- Do not loosen or tighten the driveshaft nut when
the wheels are on the ground.
- Do not place the vehicle with its wheels on the
ground when the driveshaft has been loosened or
removed.
