5. Make sure the circlip is on the shaft and not left in the joint.
6. Remove the CV boot from the shaft.
IMPORTANT: If the grease in the joint is obviously
contaminated with water and/or dirt, the joint should
be replaced.
7. Thoroughly clean the joint with an appropriate solvent and
dry the joint to prevent any residual solvent from being left
in the joint upon reassembly.
8. Visually inspect the joint by tilting the inner race to one side
to expose each ball. Severe pitting, galling, play between
the ball and its cage window, any cracking or damage to the
cage, pitting or galling or chips in raceways call for joint
replacement.
NOTE: Shiny areas in ball tracks and on the cage
spheres are normal. Do not replace CV joints
because parts have polished surfaces. Replace CV
joint only if components are cracked, broken, worn
or otherwise unserviceable.
9. Clean the splines on the end of the shaft and apply a light
coat of grease prior to reassembly.
10. Slide the small boot clamp and boot (small end first) onto
the drive shaft and position the boot in it’s groove machined
in the shaft.
11. Install a NEW circlip on the end of the shaft.
12. Grease the joint with the special CV joint grease provided
in the boot replacement kit. Fill the cavity behind the balls
and the splined hole in the joint’s inner race. Pack the ball
tracks and outer face flush with grease. Place any remaining
grease into the boot.
NOTE: The amount of grease that’s provided is pre-
measured, so use all the grease.
CAUTION
Complete disassembly of the CV joint is NOT
recommended. The internal components are a
precision fit and develop their own characteristic
wear patterns. Intermixing the internal
components could result in looseness, binding,
and/or premature failure of the joint.

CAUTION
The grease provided in the replacement kit is
specially formulated for wear resistance and
