To remove the drive axle: Remove the drive axle/hub nut while applying the brakes. Disconnect the brake hose bracket and wheel speed sensor wiring harness from the shock absorber. Remove the lower ball joint nut and bolt to separate the lower control arm from the steering knuckle. Use a drive hub remover to separate the drive axle from the hub, and secure the knuckle assembly out of the way with wire. Depending on the model, follow specific instructions: On 2014 and earlier models (right-side drive axle), strike the inner face of the inner CV joint with a brass drift. On 2015-2018 models and 2019 FWD models (right-side drive axle), remove the support bearing retaining strap nuts and pull out the right-side axle assembly. On 2019 AWD models (right-side drive axle), use a prybar to free the end of the drive axle from the intermediate shaft. For the left-side drive axle, use a drive axle remover or pry the inner CV joint out of the transaxle. Carefully support the CV joints and remove the drive axle from the vehicle.

The procedure for intermediate shaft removal and installation varies based on the model year and type of vehicle. It typically involves removing certain bolts, nuts, and inspecting the support bearing. The installation process reverses the removal steps, ensuring proper torquing of fasteners.
