when servicing CV joints. Drive shaft components are OUTER CV BOOT REPLACEMENT
precision parts.
Cleanliness and following these instructions is very NOTE
important to ensure proper shaft function and a normal Outer CV Joint replacement is not recommended. If the
service life. outer joint is damaged, a new half shaft assembly
should be installed.
• The complete drive shaft and joint should be handled
by getting hold of the interconnecting shaft to avoid
disassembly or potential damage to the drive shaft 1. Use a side cutters to cut and discard the boot clamps
joints. q.
• Over-angling of joints beyond their capacity could
result in boot or joint damage.
• Make sure surface-ground areas and splines of shaft
are protected during handling to avoid damage.
• Do not allow boots to come into contact with sharp
edges or hot engine and exhaust components.
• The drive shaft is not to be used as a lever arm to
position other suspension components.
• Never use a hammer or sharp tools to remove or to
install boot clamps.
• Be sure joints are thoroughly clean and that the proper
amount and type of grease is used to refill when joint

3. Clean the grease from the face of the joint.
CAUTION
Complete disassembly of the CV 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.

If the grease in the joint is obviously contaminated with
water and/or dirt, the joint should be replaced.
