5. Slide the new clamp and boot (small end first)
over the splined shaft, then slide (tap) the CV joint
into the splines of the axle.
6. Add grease through large end of boot.
7. Install a new boot onto the axle shaft and fill the
CV joint and boot with the correct type and
amount of grease.
8. 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 axle. CARE MUST
BE TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE
NEWLY INSTALLED BOOT.
9. Install the small clamp on the boot.
10. Be sure to use only the Constant Velocity Joint
grease supplied with boot service kit. IF CV

amount of grease to the joint in addition to the
grease pack supplied with boot kit.
