7. Remove the boot from the shaft.
CAUTION
Complete disassembly of the plunging joint is NOT
recommended. The internal components are a
precision fit and develop their own characteristic wear
patterns. Intermixing the internal components could
result in looseness, binding, and/or premature failure of
the joint.
NOTE: If the grease in the joint is obviously
contaminated with water and/or dirt, the joint
should be replaced.
8. Thoroughly clean the joint with an appropriate
solvent and dry the joint to prevent any residual
solvent from being left in the joint upon reassembly.
9. Visually inspect the joint for damage. Replace if
needed.
10. Clean the splines on the end of the shaft and apply a
light coat of grease prior to reassembly.
11. Slide the small boot clamp and boot (small end first)
onto the drive shaft and position the boot in its
groove machined in the shaft.
12. Install a NEW circlip on the end of the shaft.

provided in the boot replacement kit. Fill the cavity
behind the balls and the splined hole in the joint's
inner race. Pack the ball tracks and outer face flush
with grease. Place any remaining grease into the

formulated for wear resistance and durability. DO NOT
