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.
