ing the snap ring.
5. 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):
205 ± 225 g (7.23 ± 7.94 oz.)
6. INSTALL BOOT TO INBOARD JOINT SHAFT

Grease capacity (Color = Black):
190 ± 210 g (6.70 ± 7.41 oz.)
(b) Temporarily install the boot to the inboard joint shaft.
7. 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:
523.5 ± 2.0 mm (20.610 ± 0.079 in.)
