7.6
FINAL DRIVE
7. Remove small clamp and boot from driveshaft.
NOTE: If the ATV has been operated with a damaged
boot, the CV joint grease may be contaminated.
Inspect the grease carefully for contamination, and
clean the joint thoroughly if necessary. Front drive
axle CV boot replacement requires 3.5 oz. of grease.
8. Before installing the new boot, remove all grease from the
boot area and shaft.
NOTE: It is very important to use the correct type
and quantity of grease. Use only the grease
contained in the boot kit. DO NOT use a substitute
grease and DO NOT overfill or under fill the CV joint.
9. Slide the new clamp and boot (small end first) over the
splined shaft, then slide (tap) the CV joint into the splines
of the axle.
10. Add grease through large end of boot.
11. Install a new boot onto the axle shaft and fill the CV joint
and boot with the correct type and amount of grease.
12. While pulling out on the CV shaft, fully extend the CV joint
and slide a straight O-ring pick or a small slotted screw
driver between the small end of the boot and the shaft. This
will allow the air pressure to equalize in the CV boot in the
position that the joint will spend most of its life. Before you
remove your instrument, be sure the small end of the boot
is in its correct location on the axle. CARE MUST BE
TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE NEWLY
INSTALLED BOOT.
13. Install the small clamp on the boot.
