FINAL DRIVE
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. Slide the boot clamp and boot (small end first) onto the
drive shaft and position the boot in its groove machined in
the shaft.

NOTE: The amount of grease that’s provided is pre-
measured, so use all the grease.
11. Refer to information below or Figure 7-28 at the end of this
section for grease capacity requirements.
12. Grease the inner and outer joint races. Fully compress the
joint and push the drive shaft firmly into the inner race.
13. Align the circlip with the lead-in chamfer.
14. Use a soft-faced hammer to assemble the shaft into the inner
race until you reach the end of the splines.
15. Pull on the joint to test that the circlip is seated and that the
joint is securely fastened to the shaft.
