REASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL DUST COVER
Using a screwdriver and hammer, install a new dust cover.
2. INSTALL DUST SEAL
Using a screwdriver and hammer, install a new dust seal.
3. 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
bearing damaged.
Before installing the boots, place 3 new clamps to the
small boot ends and large boot end (outboard joint side).
4. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT SHAFT TO OUTBOARD
JOINT SHAFT
Align the matchmarks placed before disassembly, and using a
snap ring expander, put in the inboard joint shaft while expand-
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
(a) Pack the inboard joint and boot with grease in the boot kit.
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.)
8. INSTALL LARGE INBOARD JOINT BOOT CLAMP TO
INBOARD JOINT SHAFT BOOT
(a) Place the large inboard joint boot clamp.
