4. Place the drive shaft in a soft-jawed vise. Using a soft-
faced
hammer, or brass drift, strike the inner race of
the joint to drive th e joint off the drive shaft. Be sure
to tap evenly around the joint to avoid binding.
IMPORTANT: Tap on inner race only!

IMPORTANT: If the grease in the
joint is obviously
contaminated with water and/or dirt, the joint should

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.
Complete disassembly of the CV joint is NOT

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.
