INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The inboard tripod joint retaining circlip
and O-ring seal (Fig. 13) on the transaxle stub shaft
are not re-usable. Whenever the inboard tripod joint
is removed from the stub shaft, the retaining circlip
and O-ring seal MUST BE REPLACED. The retaining
circlip and O-ring seal is included in all service kits
requiring removal of the inboard tripod joint from
the stub shaft.
(1) Replace O-ring seal and tripod joint retaining
circlip (Fig. 13) on the transaxle stub shaft.
(2) Evenly apply a bead of grease, such as Mopar
Multi-Purpose Lubricant or an equivalent, around
spline of inner tripod joint (Fig. 14) where the O-ring
seats against tripod joint. This will spread grease
onto stub shaft during tripod joint installation pre-
venting corrosion and help to seal the O-ring.
