FINAL DRIVE
NOTE: Take care when removing to prevent
damaging the seal.
9. Inspect the axle splines and CV boots for any damage.
Outer CV Joint / Boot Replacement
1. Using a side cutters, cut away and discard the boot clamps.
2. Remove the large end of the boot from the CV joint and
slide the boot down the shaft.
3. Clean the grease from the face of the joint.
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 the joint off the drive shaft. Be sure to tap evenly
around the joint to avoid binding.
IMPORTANT: Tap on inner race only!
5. Make sure the circlip is on the shaft and not left in the joint.
6. Remove the CV boot from the shaft.
Complete disassembly of the CV joint is NOT
recommended. The internal components are a
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.
