13. Slide the joint onto the drive shaft splines and align the
circlip with the lead-in chamfer on the inner race of the
joint.
14. Use a soft-faced hammer to tap the joint onto the drive shaft
until it locks into place.
15. Pull on the joint to make sure it is securely locked in place.
16. Remove excess grease from the CV joint's external surfaces
and place the excess grease in the boot.
17. Pull the boot over the joint and position the boot lips into
the grooves on the joint housing and shaft. Make sure the
boot is not dimpled or collapsed.
18. Install and tighten the large clamp using the appropriate
clamp tool.
19. While pulling out on the CV shaft, 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.
20. Install and tighten the small clamp on the boot using the
appropriate clamp tool.
