DRIVESHAFT AND CV JOINT
HANDLING
TIPS
Care should be exercised during driveshaft removal
or when servicing CV joints. Driveshaft components
are precision parts.
Cleanliness and following these instructions is very
important to ensure proper shaft function and a
normal service life.
S The complete driveshaft and joint
should be handled by getting hold of
the interconnecting shaft to avoid
disassembly or potential damage to
the driveshaft joints.
S Over-angling of joints beyond their
capacity could result in boot or joint
damage.
S Make sure surface-ground areas
and splines of shaft are protected
during handling to avoid damage.
S Do not allow boots to come into
contact with sharp edges or hot
engine and exhaust components.
S The driveshaft is not to be used as a
lever arm to position other
suspension components.
S Never use a hammer or sharp tools
to remove or to install boot clamps.
S Be sure joints are thoroughly clean
and that the proper amount and type
of grease is used to refill when joint
boots are replaced and when joints
are cleaned. Refer to text for grease
capacity of CV joints and CV joint
boots.
