Accessing CV Driveline Joints
Refer to Figure 5-14 on page 50:
There are two ways the constant velocity driveline joints
shown in Figure 5-14 can be accessed for lubrication.
One is through holes in the driveline shield and the other
is to slide the shields back to expose the grease zerks.
Lubrication Through Access Holes
1.
Refer to
Rotate driveline shield until
holes in shield align with grease zerks in CV joint.
2. Apply proper amount and type of lubrication. Refer to
quantities and type of lubrication.
3.
Refer to
Rotate driveline shield 180
o
until holes on opposite side of shield aligns with
remaining grease zerks in CV joint.
4. Repeat step 2 above on any grease zerks that were
not greased in step 2.
5. Steps 1-2 can be repeated to lubricate universal joint
on opposite end of driveline. (Opposite end of
driveline has only one grease zerk.)
Lubrication By Sliding Driveline Shields Back
1.
Refer to
With a flat bladed screwdriver
or similar tool, pry top of red locking tab up.
2.
Refer to
Rotate white locking ring fully
counterclockwise to the position shown.
3.
Refer to
Pull back on driveline shielding
until CV joint is exposed.
4. Apply proper amount and type of lubrication. Refer to
quantities and type of lubrication.
5. Slide driveline shield back to its operating position.
6.
Refer to
Rotate white locking ring
clockwise and press the red locking tab down until it
snaps in place as shown.
7.
Steps 1-6 can be repeated to lubricate universal joint
on opposite end of driveline.
