Tools and materials:
* Wrench set
* Flat blade screwdriver
* Container for draining transmission fluid
Steps:
1. Remove the battery. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid short circuit.
2. Drain the transmission fluid. Locate the drain plug on the transmission and unscrew it to drain the fluid into a container.
3. Disconnect the drive shafts from the wheel hubs. Use a wrench to loosen the wheel hub nuts, then jack up the vehicle and place it on jack stands. Remove the wheels. Locate the constant velocity joints (CV joints) connecting the drive shafts to the wheel hubs and use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the CV boots. Gently pull the drive shafts to remove them from the wheel hubs.
4. Disconnect the drive shafts from the gearbox. Locate the nuts or bolts holding the drive shafts to the transmission flanges and loosen them with a wrench. Gently pull the drive shafts to disengage them from the transmission.
5. Remove the gearbox from the engine. If possible, use a transmission lift to remove the transmission. If a lift is not available, locate the transmission-to-engine mounting points and use a wrench to remove the appropriate bolts or nuts. Carefully slide the transmission forward to disengage it from the engine.
6. Remove the drive from the gearbox. Now that the transmission is removed, locate the drive inside it. It will most likely be secured with bolts or clamps. Loosen the fasteners and carefully pull out the drive.
Adviсe:
* When draining transmission fluid, make sure the container is large enough to hold the entire amount of fluid.
* Be careful when disconnecting CV joints. The anthers may be fragile.
* Mark drive shafts to avoid confusion during installation.
* When installing the actuator back into the transmission, make sure it is properly connected and tightened.
*Remember to change the transmission fluid after the job is completed.
