5. Apply the specified amount of grease (NISSAN genuine grease
or equivalent) onto housing (* point) and install it to shaft.
NOTE:
Align matching marks painted when housing were removed.
6. Install stopper ring to housing.
7. After installed, pull shaft to check engagement between joint
sub-assembly and stopper ring.
8. Install boot securely into grooves (indicated by * marks) shown
in the figure.
CAUTION:
If there is grease on boot mounting surfaces (indicated by*
marks) of shaft and housing, boot may come off. Remove
all grease from the surfaces.
9. Make sure boot installation length “L” is the length indicated
below. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into inside
of boot from the large diameter side of boot. Bleed air from boot
to prevent boot deformation.
CAUTION:
Boot may break if boot installation length is less than standard value.
Take care not to touch the tip of screwdriver to inside of boot.
10. Secure large and small ends of boot with new boot bands as
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot band.
11. After installing housing and shaft, rotate boot to check whether
or not the actual position is correct. If boot position is not correct,
secure boot with new boot band again.
Wheel Side
1. Apply the specified amount of grease (NISSAN genuine grease
or equivalent) into joint sub-assembly serration hole until grease
begins to ooze from ball groove and serration hole. After apply-
ing grease, use a shop cloth to wipe off old grease that has
oozed out.Grease amount
