HANDLING
TIPS
Care should be exercised during driveshaft removal
or when servicing CV joints. Driveshaft
components are precision parts.
Cleanliness and following these instructions is very
important to ensure proper shaft function and a
normal service life.
S The complete driveshaft and joint should
be handled by getting hold of the
interconnecting shaft to avoid
disassembly or potential damage to the
driveshaft joints.
S Over-angling of joints beyond their
capacity could result in boot or joint
damage.
S Make sure surface-ground areas and
splines of shaft are protected during
handling to avoid damage.
S Do not allow boots to come into contact
with sharp edges or hot engine and
exhaust components.
S The driveshaft is not tobe usedas a lever
arm to position other suspension
components.
S Never use a hammer or sharp tools to
remove or to install boot clamps.
S Be sure joints are thoroughly clean and
that the proper amount and type of
grease is used to refill when joint boots
are replaced and when joints are
cleaned. Refer to text for grease
capacity of CV joints and CV joint boots.
