② Remove the clamp of the boot connector
side. Shift the position of the boot. Then
loosen the connector lock nut, and remove
the connector.
Note: Fix the ball joint to prevent it from
turning.
③ Replace the boot with a new one. When
installing the new one, let its end of larger
outer diameter face the actuator.
④ Turn counterclockwise the ball screw till it
contracts the most.
Apply LOCTITE#271 to the threaded areas
of the connector and the lock nut, then install
the connector as specied in Figure 6B.19.

[130 to 159 lbf-ft]
⑤ Clamp the both ends of the boot by wire.
Before clamping, align the position of the
joint, as shown in Figure 6B.21, to correct a
dislocation of the boot.
