"BAT.J. BOOT BAND (SMALL)/T.J. BOOT BAND
(LARGE) INSTALLATION
Set the T.J. boot bands at the specified distance in order
to adjust the amount of air inside the T.J. boot, and then
tighten the T.J. boot bands securely.
Standard value (A): 85±3mm
INSPECTION
DCheck the drive shaft for damage, bending or corrosion.
DCheck the drive shaft spline part for wear or damage.
DCheck the spider assembly for roller rotation, wear or
corrosion.
DCheck the groove inside T.J. case for wear or corrosion.
DCheck the boots for deterioration, damage or cracking.
DCheck the dust cover for damage or deterioration.
B.J. BOOT (RESIN BOOT) REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the B.J. boot bands (large and small).
NOTE
The B.J. boot bands cannot be re-used.
2. Remove the B.J. boot.
3. Wrap a plastic tape around the shaft spline, and assemble
the B.J. boot band and B.J. boot.
4. Install the groove in the center of the small diameter
part of the resin boot by fitting to the groove of the shaft.
5. Turn the adjusting bolt on the special tool so that the
size of the opening (W) is at the standard value.
Standard value (W): 2.9 mm

Tighten the adjusting bolt.

Loosen the adjusting bolt.
NOTE
(1) The value of W will change by approximately 0.7
mm for each turn of the adjusting bolt.

(2) The adjusting bolt should not be turned more than
once.
6. Install the boot band (small) in order to create clearance as
A and B in the illustration.
7. Use the special tool to crimp the B.J. boot band (small).
Caution
(1) Secure the drive shaft in an upright position and
clamp the part of the B.J. boot band to be crimped
securely in the jaws of the special tool.
(2) Crimp the B.J. boot band until the special tool
touches the stopper.
8. Check that the crimping amount (C) of the B.J. boot band
is at the standard value.
Standard value (C): 2.4 - 2.8 mm

Readjust the value of (W) in step 5 according
to the following formula, and then repeat the
operation in step 7.
W = 5.5 mm - C
Example: If C = 2.9 mm, then W = 2.6 mm.

Remove the B.J. boot band, readjust the value
of (W) in step 5 according to the following
formula, and then repeat the operations in
steps 6 and 7 using a new B.J. boot band.
W = 5.5 mm - C
Example: If C = 2.3 mm, then W = 3.2 mm.
9. Check that the B.J. boot band is not sticking out past
the place where it has been installed.
If the B.J. boot band is sticking out, remove it and then
repeat the operations in steps 6 to 8 using a new B.J.
boot band.
