IMPORTANT: Tap on inner race only!
5. Make sure the circlip is on the shaft and not left in the
joint.
6. Remove the boot from the shaft.
IMPORTANT: If the grease in the joint is obviously
contaminated with water and/or dirt, the joint should
be replaced.
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.
8. Visually inspect the joint for damage. Replace if
needed.
9. Clean the splines on the end of the shaft and apply a
light coat of grease prior to reassembly.
10. Slide the small boot clamp and boot (small end first)
onto the drive shaft and position the boot in its groove
machined in the shaft.
11. Install a new circlip on the end of the shaft.
12. Grease the joint with the special joint grease provided
in the boot replacement kit. Fill the cavity behind the
balls and the splined hole in the joint’s inner race.
Pack the ball tracks and outer face flush with grease.
Place any remaining grease into the boot.
NOTE: The amount of grease provided in the boot
kit is pre-measured. Use entire contents of package.
13. Fully compress the joint and push the drive shaft firmly
into the inner race.
14. Align the circlip with the lead-in chamfer.
15. Use a soft-faced hammer to tap the joint onto the drive
shaft until you reach the end of the splines and the
joint locks in place.
16. Pull on the joint to test that the circlip is seated and
that the joint is securely fastened to the shaft.
17. Remove excess grease from the plunging joint’s
external surfaces and place the excess grease in the
boot.
Complete disassembly of the plunging joint is
NOT recommended. The internal components
are 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.
The grease provided in the replacement kit is
specially formulated for wear resistance and
durability. DO NOT use substitutes
or mix with other lubricants.
