4. The CV joint is fitted with a circlip at the end of the
shaft inside the housing. The shaft is likely to be
damaged from striking the cage / race to separate the
CV joint from the shaft. It is recommended to replace
the entire half shaft assembly if there is damage to
the outer joint.
5. Remove the plunging joint from the shaft to remove
the CV boot.

the plunging joint end of the drive shaft and position
the boot in it's groove machined in 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
boot.
CAUTION
The grease provided in the replacement kit is specially
formulated for wear resistance and durability. DO NOT
use substitutes or mix with other lubricants.
NOTE
The amount of grease provided in the boot kit is pre-
measured. Use entire contents of package.
8. Remove excess grease from the CV joint's external
surfaces and place the excess grease in the boot.

11. While pulling out on the CV shaft, fully extend the CV
joint and slide a straight O-ring pick or a small slotted
screw driver between the small end of the boot and
the shaft. This will allow the air pressure to equalize in
the CV boot in the position that the joint will spend
most of its life. Before you remove your instrument,
be sure the small end of the boot is in its correct
location on the shaft.
12. Install and tighten the small clamp
