Boot Kit, Rear

You must take out the halfshaft assembly before you can work on the CV Joint Boot for the rear drive halfshafts. Carefully unpack the parts of the inboard CV joint boot by removing its housing clamps first then the boot itself plus the retaining ring, 8 balls, outer race and housing snap ring. From here you can remove any damaged boot materials as the outboard CV joint does not detach from the halfshaft. You need to access the boot by working from its inboard side. To access the outboard CV joint boot you must get rid of both boot clamps and the boot itself. Place the boot on the interconnecting shaft before filling the outboard CV joint with 80 g of grease from the kit. Spread remaining grease evenly throughout the boot. Position the boot into the CV joint groove and use the boot clamp installer to fix 79.6 mm (3.13 in) clamps on the large end and one small clamp on the small end of the boot assembly. When replacing the halfshaft always use a fresh circlip to stop component harm by placing one end into the groove first then sliding it over the shaft. Place a new retainer circlip over the interconnecting shaft and position its small clamp before installing the boot. Insert the assembly into the housing and secure it with the retaining ring after placing both the inner and outer races with their components. Pack 108 grams (3.80 ounces) of CV Boot Kit grease into the inboard housing and place the rest of the grease within the boot then joint. Install the inboard CV joint housing and position the boot inside its designated groove. Lengthen or shorten the halfshaft according to specifications while measuring its total length and adjusting joint pressure through the tool positioned between the boot and CV joint. Afterward install the large 77.5mm boot clamps at the joint's end then the small clamp on top of it to secure the unit successfully.

Position the outboard halfshaft boot and clamps, installing the clamps afterward.
