Re: Mistery bolt in the passenger side half shaft assembly - 1995 LE sedan, 4-cyl

According to the free repair guide on Autozone, that should be the bearing lock bolt on the bottom side that holds the bearing in the holder. After you remove it, the snap ring holds the halfshaft at the holder.

See excerpt below:

  1. Remove the right halfshaft from the transaxle as follows: 1. Remove the bear> I found a small bolt which seems to do nothing in its place...

Is this some kind of grease point or what?
