1. Withdraw the joint from the drive shaft
and then withdraw the protective gaiter.
K M It is advisable to renew the protective
F**^ gaiter whenever it is removed.
Undo the two screws, one of which is not
in view, and remove the two half shells
and the rubber buffer which constitute the
damping weight.
When refitting, the damping weight
must be returned to the same seating,
recognizable on the shaft by a marked
reduction of the outer diameter and by
two thrust washers which define the
outside dimensions of the damping
weight.
3. Check that the drive shaft is not deformed
or out of true, and that the surface in con­
tact with the seal is not worn.
REFITTING
During reassembly, the constant velocity joints
must be coupled to the shaft in accordance
with the table. Category B joints match both
categories of drive shaft; carry out a further
check on the joint to make sure that there are
no signs of seizure or scoring.
