Removal (Fig. 8)
1. Remove wheel, stub axle and axle housing from the
CV joint and front suspension (see Front Wheel And
Axle Housing Assembly in this section).
IMPORTANT: Make sure not to damage the oil seal
on the front differential with the pry bars when re-
moving the CV joints.
2. Use two small pry bars (180
o
apart) to leverage the
CV joint out of the front differential. Use even pressure
on both pry bars (Fig. 9).
IMPORTANT: With damaged CV joints, there is the
possibility that the wheel bearings may be damaged
as well. It is recommended that the wheel bearings
be inspected when CV joints are replaced.
3. Inspect front wheel bearings (see Inspection in Front
Wheel And Axle Housing Assembly in this section).
Installation (Fig. 8)
1. If necessary, install a new circular clip onto the
splined (inboard) end of the CV joint.
2. Grease splines of CV joint with No. 2 general pur-
pose lithium base grease.
3. Insert end of CV joint into the front differential until a
snap is heard.
Pull outward on CV joint as close as
possible to the front differential to make sure that
the CV joint is properly snapped into place.
4. Reassemble axle housing, stub axle, and wheel to
the CV joint and front suspension (see Front Wheel And
Axle Housing Assembly in this section).
