into the knuckles and the new outside boot.
CD022
 NOTE: The grease pack contains 120 grams of
grease. The inside joint (double-offset) requires
approximately 70-90 grams of grease and the outside
(bell-type) requires approximately 35-55 grams. When
replacing boots, use 2/3 of the pack for inside boots
and 1/3 of the pack for outside boots.
Do no over-fill the joint as boot damage may occur
resulting in joint failure.
9. Slide the new outside boot onto the shaft with the
new clamps positioned as shown. Note the differ-
ent-sized clamps from removal.
 NOTE: The boot is positioned correctly when the
small end of the boot seats down into the recessed
groove.
