9. Adjust the length (A) of the driveshaft to the figure
as shown, then adjust the boots to halfway
between full compression and full extension. Bleed
excess air from the boots by inserting a flat-tipped
screwdriver between the boot and the joint.

10. Install new boot bands.
 For the double loop type, go to step 11.
 For the low profile type, go to step 20. 11. Fit the boot ends onto the driveshaft and the
inboard joint, then install a new double loop band
(A) onto the boot (B).
NOTE: Pass the end of the new double loop band
through the clip (C) twice in the direction of the
forward rotation of the driveshaft.
12. Pull up the slack in the band by hand.
13. Mark a position (A) on the band 10 14 mm (0.4 0.6 in.) from the clip (B).
Replace.

7. To completely seat the outboard joint, pick up the driveshaft and joint, and tap or hit the assembly
onto a hard surface from a height of about 10 cm
(4 in.).
NOTE: Do not use a hammer as excessive force
may damage the driveshaft. Be careful not to
damage the threaded section (A) of the outboard
joint.
8. Check the alignment of the paint mark (A) you made with the outboard joint end (B).
To avoid driveshaft and vehicle damage, the
shaft must be all the way into the outboard
joint to ensure the stop ring is properly
seated. 9. Pack the outboard joint (A) with the remaining
grease included in the new outboard boot set.
10. Fit the boot ends (A) onto the driveshaft (B) and outboard joint (C). Bleed any excess air from the
boot by inserting a flat-tipped screwdriver between
the boot and the joint.
Use the grease included
in the outboard boot set.

commercially available boot band pliers
(Kent-Moore J-35910 or equivalent) (B).
13. Check the clearance between the closed ear portion of the band. If the clearance is not within the
standard, close the ear portion of the band tighter.
14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 for the band on the other end of the boot.

NOTE: Before starting installation, make sure the
mating surfaces of the joint and the splined section are
clean.
1. Apply about 5 g (0.18 oz) moly 60 paste (P/N 08734-0001) to the contact area (A) of the
outboard joint and the front wheel bearing.
NOTE: The paste helps to prevent noise and
vibration.
2. Install a new set ring (A) onto the set ring groove (B) of the driveshaft (left driveshaft). 3. Install a new set ring (A) onto the set ring groove
(B) of the intermediate shaft.
4. Apply super high temp urea grease (P/N 08798-9002) to the whole splined surface (A) of
the right driveshaft. After applying grease, remove
the grease from the splined grooves at intervals of
2 3 splines and from the set ring groove (B) so
that air can bleed from the intermediate shaft.
Replace.
