AXLE - C/V JOINT
REMOVAL
NOTE: The only service procedure to be performed
on the axle C/V joint, is the replacement of the joint
seal boot. If any failure of internal axle shaft com-
ponents is diagnosed during a vehicle road test, the
axle shaft must be replaced as an assembly.
(1) Remove axle shaft.
(2) Remove large and small C/V boot clamps (Fig.
25) and discard.
(3) Slid boot off the C/V joint housing and slide it
down the axle shaft.
(4) Remove C/V joint from axle then slid boot off
the axle.
(5) Thoroughly clean and inspect axle C/V joint
assembly and axle shaft for any signs of excessive
wear.
INSTALLATION
(1) Slidenewboot over axle shaft.
(2) Install C/V joint onto the axle shaft.
(3) Distribute 1/2 the amount of grease provided in
seal boot service package(DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER TYPE OF GREASE)into axle C/V joint
assembly housing. Put the remaining amount into
the sealing boot.
(4) Position boot on the axle locating grove and on
the C/V joint.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: If replacement differential bearings or differ-
ential case are being installed, differential side
bearing shim requirements may change. Refer to
Adjustments (Differential Bearing Preload and Gear
Backlash) to determine the proper shim selection.
(1) Position Spreader W-129-B with Adapter Kit
6987B on differential locating holes. Install hold
down clamps and tighten the tool turnbuckle finger-
tight.
(2) Install a Pilot Stud C-3288-B at the left side of
the differential housing. Attach Dial Indicator C-3339
to pilot stud. Load the indicator plunger against the
opposite side of the housing and zero the indicator.
(3) Spread the housing enough to install the case
in the housing. Measure the distance with the dial
indicator.
CAUTION: Never spread the housing over 0.50 mm
(0.020 in). If housing is over-spread, it could dis-
torted and damaged the housing.
(4) Remove the dial indicator.
(5) Install differential case in the housing (Fig.
46). Make sure the differential bearing cups remain
on the bearings and the preload shims remain
between the face of the bearing cup and housing. Tap
the differential case to ensure the bearings cups and
shims are fully seated in the housing.
CAUTION: On a Vari-lokTdifferential the oil feed
tube must be pointed at the bottom of the housing.
If differential is installed with the oil feed tube
pointed at the top, the anti-rotation tabs will be
damaged.
(6) Install the bearing caps at their original loca-
tions (Fig. 47).
(7) Loosely install differential bearing cap bolts.
(8) Remove axle housing spreader.
(9) Tighten the bearing cap bolts to 61 N´m (45 ft.
lbs.).
(10) Install the hub bearings and axle shafts.

tial case to ensure bearings cups and shims are
seated in the housing.
CAUTION: On a Vari-lokTdifferential the oil feed
tube must be pointed at the bottom of the housing
(Fig. 53). If differential is installed with the oil feed
tube pointed at the top, the anti-rotation tabs will be
damaged.

OPERATION
OPERATIONÐCOOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system regulates engine operating tem-
perature. It allows the engine to reach normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible. It alsomaintains normal operating temperature and pre-
vents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a means of heat-
ing the passenger compartment and cooling the auto-
matic transmission fluid (if equipped). The cooling
system is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water
pump to circulate coolant throughout the system.
OPERATIONÐHOSE CLAMPS
The worm type hose clamp uses a specified torque
value to maintain proper tension on a hose connec-
tion.
