ing shaft (Fig. 2) and discard. Remove the sealing
boot from the tripod housing and slide it down the
interconnecting shaft.
CAUTION: When removing the spider joint from the
tripod joint housing. Hold the rollers in place on the
spider trunions to prevent the rollers and needle
bearings from falling away.
(3) Slide the interconnecting shaft and spider as-
sembly out of the tripod joint housing (Fig. 3).
(4) Remove snap ring which retains spider assem-
bly to interconnecting shaft (Fig. 4). Then remove the
spider assembly from interconnecting shaft. If spider
assembly will not come off interconnecting shaft by
hand, it can be removed by tapping the end of the
spider body with a brass drift. Do not hit the outer
tripod bearings in an attempt to remove spider
assembly from interconnecting shaft.
(5) Slide failed sealing boot off the interconnecting
shaft.
(6) Thoroughly clean and inspect spider assembly,
tripod joint housing and interconnecting shaft for any
signs of excessive wear. If any parts show signs of
excessive wear, the driveshaft assembly will re-
quire replacement. Component parts of the L.H.
platform driveshaft assemblies are not service-
able.
INSTALL
The inner tripod joint sealing boots used on
the L.H. platform vehicles are made from 2 dif-
ferent types of material. High temperature ap-
plications use silicone rubber where as stan-
dard
temperature applications use hytrel
plastic. The silicone sealing boots are soft and
pliable. The Hytrel sealing boots are stiff and
rigid. The replacement sealing boot MUST BE
the same type of material as the sealing boot
which was removed.
(1) Slide inner tripod joint seal boot retaining
clamp, onto interconnecting shaft. Then slide replace-
ment inner tripod joint sealing boot onto the intercon-
necting shaft. Inner tripod joint seal boot MUST
be positioned on interconnecting shaft, so only
the thinnest (sight) groove on interconnecting
shaft is visible (Fig. 5).
(2) Install the spider assembly onto the intercon-
necting shaft. Spider assembly must be installed on
interconnecting shaft far enough to fully install the
retaining snap ring. If spider assembly will not fully
install on interconnecting shaft by hand, it can be
installed by tapping the spider body with a brass
drift. Do not hit the outer tripod bearings in an
attempt to install spider assembly on intercon-
necting shaft.
(3) Install the spider assembly to interconnecting
shaft retaining snap ring into groove on end of inter-
connecting shaft (Fig. 6). Be sure the snap ring is
fully seated into groove on interconnecting shaft.
