6.
Make sure the circlip is on the shaft and not left in the
joint.
7.
Remove the CV boot from the shaft.
CAUTION
Complete disassembly of the CV joint is NOT
recommended. The internal components are a
precision fit and develop their own characteristic wear
patterns. Intermixing the internal components could
result in looseness, binding, and/or premature failure of
the joint.
NOTICE
If the grease in the joint is obviously contaminated with
water and/or dirt, the joint should be replaced.
8.
Thoroughly clean the joint with an appropriate
solvent and dry the joint to prevent any residual
solvent from being left in the joint upon reassembly.
9.
Visually inspect the joint by tilting the inner race to
one side to expose each ball. Severe pitting, galling,
play between the ball and its cage window, any
cracking or damage to the cage, pitting or galling or
chips in raceways call for joint replacement.
NOTICE
Shiny areas in ball tracks and on the cage spheres are
normal. Do not replace CV joints because parts have
polished surfaces. Replace CV joint only if components
are cracked, broken, worn or otherwise unserviceable.
10. Clean the splines on the end of the shaft and apply a
light coat of grease prior to reassembly.
11. Slide the small boot clamp and boot (small end first)
onto the drive shaft and position the boot in it’s
groove machined in the shaft.
12. Install a NEW circlip on the end of the shaft.
13. Grease the joint with the special CV joint grease
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.
NOTICE
The amount of grease that’s provided is pre-measured,
so use all the grease.
