Rear Drive Shaft Service (Dual CV Joint Style)
(Boot Replacement)
1. Remove CV joint from end of shaft. (See page 7.56)
2. Remove boot from shaft.
NOTE:When replacing a damaged boot, check the grease for contamination by rubbing it between two fingers.
A gritty feeling indicates contamination. If the grease is not contaminated, the boot can be replaced without
cleaning the CV joint. Use the recommended amount of grease for boot replacement only (see below). Proceed
to Boot Installation.
(CV Joint Cleaning / Replacement)
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the CV joint and inspect
ball tracks and cages for wear, cracks or other
damage.
NOTE:Shiny areas in ball tracks and on the cage spheres
are normal. Do not replace CV joints because parts
have polished surfaces. Replace CV joint only if compo-
nents are cracked, broken, worn or otherwise unser-
viceable.
4. Add the recommended amount of grease for CV
joint cleaning to the joint as shown below. Be sure
grease penetrates all parts of the joint.
