(2) Install spider assembly onto interconnecting
shaft (Fig. 26). Spider assembly must be installed on
interconnecting shaft far enough to fully install spi-
der retaining snap ring. If spider assembly will not
fully install on interconnecting shaft by hand, it can
be installed by tapping the spider body with a brass
drift (Fig. 27). Do not hit the outer tripod bear-
ings in an attempt to install spider assembly on
interconnecting shaft.
(3) Install the spider assembly to interconnecting
shaft retaining snap ring into groove on end of inter-
connecting shaft (Fig. 28). Be sure the snap ring is
fully seated into groove on interconnecting shaft.
(4) Distribute 1/2 the amount of grease provided in
the seal boot service package (DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER TYPE OF GREASE) into tripod housing. Put
the remaining amount into the sealing boot.
(5) Align tripod housing with spider assembly and
then slide tripod housing over spider assembly and
interconnecting shaft (Fig. 29).

(6) Install inner tripod joint seal boot to intercon-
necting shaft clamp evenly on sealing boot.
(7) Clamp sealing boot onto interconnecting shaft
using crimper, Special Tool C-4975-A and the follow-
ing procedure. Place crimping tool C-4975-A over
bridge of clamp (Fig. 30). Tighten nut on crimping
tool C-4975-A until jaws on tool are closed completely
together, face to face (Fig. 31).
CAUTION: Seal must not be dimpled, stretched or
out of shape in any way. If seal is NOT shaped cor-
rectly, equalize pressure in seal and shape it by
hand.
(8) Position sealing boot into the tripod housing
retaining groove. Install seal boot retaining clamp
evenly on sealing boot.
CAUTION:
The
following
positioning
procedure
determines the correct air pressure inside the inner
tripod joint assembly prior to clamping the sealing
boot to inner tripod joint housing. If this procedure
is not done prior to clamping sealing boot to tripod
joint
housing
sealing
boot
durability
can
be
adversely affected.
CAUTION: When venting the inner tripod joint
assembly, use care so inner tripod sealing boot
does not get punctured, or in any other way dam-
aged. If sealing boot is punctured, or damaged in
any way while being vented, the sealing boot can
not be used.
(9) Insert a trim stick between the tripod joint and
the sealing boot to vent inner tripod joint assembly
(Fig. 32). When inserting trim stick between tri-
pod housing and sealing boot ensure trim stick
is held flat and firmly against the tripod hous-
ing. If this is not done damage to the sealing
boot can occur. If inner tripod joint has a Hytrel
(hard plastic) sealing boot, be sure trim stick is
inserted between soft rubber insert and tripod hous-
ing not the hard plastic sealing boot and soft rubber
insert.

(10) With trim stick inserted between sealing boot
and tripod joint housing, position the interconnecting
shaft so it is at the center of its travel in the tripod
joint housing. Remove the trim stick from between
the sealing boot and the tripod joint housing. This
procedure will equalize the air pressure in the
tripod joint, preventing premature sealing boot
failure.
(11) Position trilobal boot to interface with the tri-
pod housing. The lobes of the boot must be properly
aligned with the recess’s of the tripod housing.
(12) Clamp tripod joint sealing boot to tripod joint,
using required procedure for type of boot clamp
application.
CRIMP TYPE BOOT CLAMP
If seal boot uses crimp type boot clamp:
• Clamp sealing boot onto tripod housing using
Crimper, Special Tool C-4975-A.
• Place crimping tool C-4975-A over bridge of
clamp (Fig. 33).
• Tighten nut on crimping tool C-4975-A until
jaws on tool are closed completely together, face to
face (Fig. 34).
LATCHING TYPE BOOT CLAMP
If seal boot uses low profile latching type boot
clamp:
• Clamp sealing boot onto tripod housing using
clamp locking tool, Snap-On YA3050 or an equiva-
lent.
• Place prongs of clamp locking tool in the holes of
the clamp (Fig. 35).
• Squeeze tool together until top band of clamp is
latched behind the two tabs on lower band of clamp
(Fig. 36).

REMOVAL
(1) Remove large boot clamp retaining C/V joint
sealing boot to C/V joint housing (Fig. 37) and dis-
card. Remove small clamp that retains outer C/V
joint sealing boot to interconnecting shaft and dis-
card. Remove sealing boot from outer C/V joint hous-
ing and slide it down interconnecting shaft.
(2) Wipe away grease to expose outer C/V joint and
interconnecting shaft.
(3) Remove outer C/V joint from interconnecting
shaft using the following procedure: Support inter-
connecting shaft in a vise equipped with protec-
tive caps on jaws of vise to prevent damage to
interconnecting shaft. Then, using a soft–faced
hammer, sharply hit the end of the C/V joint hous-
ing to dislodge housing from internal circlip on inter-
connecting shaft (Fig. 38). Then slide outer C/V joint
off end of interconnecting shaft, joint may have to be
tapped off shaft using a soft–faced hammer.
(4) Remove large circlip (Fig. 39) from the inter-
connecting shaft before attempting to remove outer
C/V joint sealing boot.
