DRIVE SHAFT / CV JOINT HANDLING TIPS

Care should be exercised during drive shaft removal or
when servicing CV joints. Drive shaft components are
precision parts.
Cleanliness and following these instructions is very
important to ensure proper shaft function and a normal
service life.
• The complete drive shaft and joint should be handled
by getting hold of the interconnecting shaft to avoid
disassembly or potential damage to the drive shaft
joints.
• Over-angling of joints beyond their capacity could
result in boot or joint damage.
• Make sure surface-ground areas and splines of shaft
are protected during handling to avoid damage.
• Do not allow boots to come into contact with sharp
edges or hot engine and exhaust components.
• The drive shaft is not to be used as a lever arm to
position other suspension components.
• Never use a hammer or sharp tools to remove or to
install boot clamps.
• Be sure joints are thoroughly clean and that the proper
amount and type of grease is used to refill when joint
boots are replaced and when joints are cleaned. Refer
to text for grease capacity of CV joints and CV joint
boots.
