7. Check that the crimping amount (B) of the B.J. boot band
is at the standard value.
Standard value (B): 2.4 ± 2.8 mm
<If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm>
Readjust the value of (W) in step 4 according
to the following formula, and then repeat the
operation in step 6.
W = 5.5 mm ± B
Example: If B = 2.9 mm, then W = 2.6 mm.
<If the crimping amount is smaller than 2.4 mm>
Remove the B.J. boot band, readjust the value
of (W) in step 4 according to the following
formula, and then repeat the operations in
steps 5 and 6 using a new B.J. boot band.
W = 5.5 mm ± B
Example: If B = 2.3 mm, then W = 3.2 mm.
8. 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 4 to 7 using a new B.J.
boot band.
9. Fill the inside of the B.J. boot with the specified amount
of the specified grease.
Specified grease: Repair kit grease
Amount to use:
<A/T> 85 g (50 g for joint, 35 g for boot)
<M/T> 110 g (55 g for joint, 55 g for boot)
10. Position the boot so that the difference between the boot
big end and the housing stepped part (C) meets the
standard value.
Standard value
(C) : 0.1 ± 1.55 mm
11. Follow the same procedure as in step 4 to adjust the
size of the opening (W) on the special tool so that it
is at the standard value.
Standard value (W): 3.2 mm
12. Place the B.J. boot band (large) against the projection
at the edge of the boot, and then secure it so that there
is a clearance left as shown by (D) in the illustration.
13. Use the special tool to crimp the B.J. boot band (large)
in the same way as in step 6.
