INSTALLATION
1. Clean all debris and moisture out of steering
knuckle (4).
CAUTION: Boot sealing is vital to retain special
lubricants and to prevent foreign contaminants
from entering the CV joint. Mishandling, such as
allowing the assemblies to dangle unsupported, or
pulling or pushing the ends can cut boots or dam-
age CV joints. During removal and installation pro-
cedures, always support both ends of the halfshaft
to prevent damage.
2. Thoroughly clean spline and oil seal sealing sur-
face, on tripod joint. Lightly lubricate oil seal seal-
ing

3. Holding halfshaft assembly by tripod joint and inter-
connecting shaft, install tripod joint into transaxle side gear as far as possible by hand.
