until it locks into place.
16. Pull on the joint to make sure it is securely locked in place.
17. Remove excess grease from the CV joint's external surfaces
and place the excess grease in the boot.

20. 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.
21. Install and tighten the small clamp on the boot using the
Axle Boot Clamp Tool (PU-48951).
