4. TEMPORARILY INSTALL OUTBOARD AND INBOARD
JOINT BOOTS AND NEW BOOT CLAMPS
HINT:

Before installing the boots, wrap the spline of the out-
board joint shaft with vinyl tape to prevent the boots from
being damaged.

Before installing the boots, place 3 new clamps to the
small boot ends and large boot end (outboard joint side).
5. INSTALL TRIPOD
(a) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.
(b) Place the beveled side of the tripod axial spline toward the
outboard joint.
(c) Align the matchmarks placed before removal.
(d) Using a brass bar and hammer, tap in the tripod to the out-
board joint shaft.
NOTICE:
Do not tap the roller.
(e) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.
6. INSTALL BOOT TO OUTBOARD JOINT
Before assembling the boot, pack the outboard joint and boot
with grease in the boot kit.
Grease capacity (Color = Black):
100 ± 120 g (3.5 ± 4.2 oz.)
7. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT SHAFT TO OUTBOARD
JOINT SHAFT
(a) Pack the inboard joint and boot with grease in the boot kit.
Grease capacity (Color = Yellow ocher):
125 ± 155 g (4.4 ± 5.5 oz.)
(b) Align the matchmarks placed before removal, and install
the inboard joint shaft to the outboard joint shaft.
(c) Temporarily install the boot to the inboard joint shaft.
8. CHECK DRIVE SHAFT LENGTH
(a) Make sure that the 2 boots are on the shaft groove.
(b) Make sure that the 2 boots are not stretched or contracted
when the drive shaft is at standard length.
Drive shaft standard length:
LH609.2 ± 2.0 mm (23.984 ± 0.079 in.)
RH842.9 ± 2.0 mm (33.185 ± 0.079 in.)

INSTALL BOOT CLAMP TO INBOARD JOINT SHAFT
BOOT
(a) Place the large inboard joint boot clamp.
(b) Using pliers, pinch the claw A and B to compress the
clamp and engage the claw C and C'.
10. Others:
INSTALL BOOT CLAMPS TO BOTH BOOTS
(a) Secure the preplaced 3 clamps onto the boots.
(b) Place SST onto the clamp.
SST 09521±24010
(c) Tighten the SST so that the clamp is pinched.
NOTICE:
Do not overtighten the SST.
(d) Using SST, adjust the clearance of the clamp.
SST 09240±00020
Clearance:
A : 1.9 mm (0.075 in.) or less
B : 1.5 ± 2.5 mm (0.059 ± 0.098 in.)
C : 3.0 ± 4.0 mm (0.118 ± 0.157 in.)

INSTALLATION
1. LH drive shaft:
INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT TO TRANSAXLE
(a) Install a new snap ring to the inboard joint shaft.
(b) Coat the gear oil to the inboard joint shaft and differential case sliding surface.
(c) Set the snap ring with opening side facing downward.
(d) Using a brass bar and hammer, install the drive shaft.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the dust cover of the drive shaft and oil seal lip of the transaxle.
HINT:
Whether the inboard joint shaft is in contact with the pinion shaft or not can be known from the sound or feel-
ing when driving it in.
(e) Check that there is 2 ± 3 mm (0.08 ± 0.12 in.) of play in the axial direction.
(f) Check that the drive shaft cannot be removed by hand.
2. RH drive shaft:
INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT TO TRANSAXLE
(a) Install the drive shaft.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the dust cover of the drive shaft and oil seal lip of the transaxle.
