while holding the CV axle from rotating, continue rotating the hub until the CV axle
splines and vacuum hub splines lock. You will be able to tell if these are meshed

le is not rotating with the hub, continue to rotate the hub until full engagement oc-
curs. If this is not done properly, you may damage the vacuum assembly as the inter-
nals are made of plastic and easily broken. Once you are sure of the full engagement
