12) Apply grease to inside of tripod joint housing (1),
joint it with tripod joint and fit boot (2) to tripod joint
housing. After fitting boot, insert screwdriver into
boot on tripod joint housing side and allow air to
enter boot so that air pressure in boot at the joint
position shown in next step becomes the same as
atmospheric pressure.
13) When fixing boot (1) to tripod joint housing (2) with
differential side big band (3), adjust so that
measured dimensions become as indicated in the
following.
Drive shaft boot fixing position (distance
between reference position and small boot band)
Left side drive shaft “a”: 151.3 – 161.3 mm (6.00 –
6.35 in.)

– 7.58 in.)
CAUTION
!
• Bend each boot band against forward
rotation.
• Do not squeeze or distort boot when
fastening it with bands. Distorted boot
caused by squeezing air may reduce its
durability.
For DOJ type
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and
what is found though visual check of component parts
after disassembly, prepare replacing parts and proceed
to reassembly.
Make sure that wheel side joint assembly (1) and DOJ
housing (2) are washed thoroughly and air dried.
Replace boot(s) (3) with new one(s).
