REMOVAL
1. Remove halfshaft assembly requiring boot replace-
ment from vehicle. (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL &
DRIVELINE/HALF SHAFT - REMOVAL)
2. Remove large boot clamp (4) retaining CV joint
sealing boot to CV joint housing (3) and discard.
Remove small clamp (1) that retains outer CV joint
sealing boot to interconnecting shaft (5) and dis-
card. Remove sealing boot (2) from outer CV joint
housing and slide it down interconnecting shaft.
3. Wipe away grease to expose outer CV joint and
interconnecting shaft.
4. Remove outer CV joint from interconnecting shaft
using the following procedure: Support intercon-
necting shaft in a vise equipped with protective
caps on jaws of vise to prevent damage to inter-
connecting shaft. Then, using a soft–faced hammer
(1), sharply hit the end of the CV joint housing to
dislodge housing from internal circlip (3) on inter-
connecting shaft. Then slide outer CV joint off end
of interconnecting shaft, joint may have to be
tapped off shaft using a soft–faced hammer.
5. Remove large circlip (3) from the interconnecting
shaft (2) before attempting to remove outer CV
joint sealing boot.
6. Slide sealing boot off interconnecting shaft.

ping end of stub axle (2) (with hub nut (4) installed)
until outer CV joint (3) is fully seated on intercon-
necting shaft.
