FINAL DRIVE
CV Boot Replacement
1. Remove CV joint from end of shaft.
2. Remove boot from shaft.
NOTE: When replacing a damaged boot, check the
grease for contamination by rubbing it between two
fingers. A gritty feeling indicates contamination. If
the grease is not contaminated, the boot can be
replaced without cleaning the CV joint. Use the
recommended amount of grease for boot
replacement only (see illustration). Proceed to step
#5.
NOTE: Use only the Constant Velocity Joint grease
supplied with boot service kit. IF CV JOINT WAS
CLEANED, add the recommended amount of grease
to the joint in addition to the grease pack supplied
with boot kit.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the CV joint and inspect ball
tracks and cages for wear, cracks or other damage.
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.
4. Add the recommended amount of grease for CV joint
cleaning to the joint. Be sure grease penetrates all parts of
the joint.
5. Slide a new CV boot onto the shaft. Do not install the boot
clamps at this time.
6. Refit CV joint on the interconnecting shaft by tapping with
a soft-faced hammer on the joint housing. Take care not to
damage threads on the outboard CV joint. The joint is fully
assembled when the compression ring is seated in the
groove on the CV joint.
7. Add remaining grease through large end of boot.
8. Remove excess grease from the CV joint's external surfaces
and position the large boot joint over the CV housing,
making sure boot is seated in groove. Position clamp over
boot end and make sure clamp tabs are located in slots.
9. Install and tighten large boot clamp with boot clamp pliers.
10. Remove excess grease from the CV shaft’s external
surfaces and position the small boot joint over the CV shaft,
making sure boot is seated in the shaft groove. 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. Position
the small clamp over boot end and make sure clamp tabs
are located in slots.
11. Install the small clamp on the boot.
