Reassembly
Tripod joint
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and
what is found through visual check of component parts
after disassembly, prepare replacing parts and proceed
to reassembly.

two types of grease in repair set and apply
specified volume to respective joint
referring to the followings for identification
of the grease.

1) Wash disassembled parts (except boots). After washing, dry parts comp letely by blowing air.
2) Clean boots with cloth.
3) Apply grease to wheel side joint. Use specified grease in tube in wheel side boot set as a spare
