2. Remove the large end of the boot from the plunging
joint and slide the boot down the shaft.
3. Clean the grease from the face of the joint.
4. Place the drive shaft in a soft-jawed vise.

NOTE
6. Make sure the circlip is still on the shaft and not left
in the joint.
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.
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.
