Use a flathead screwdriver, remove the retaining ring from the large outer ring SHRUS (Fig. 3.122). Pull out the drive shaft from the outer CV joint cage.
Remove the small retaining ring and the inner ring, remove CV joint assembly with a separator and balls (Fig. 3.123). Clean the inner ring SHRUS and cage assemblies and balls, not looking knot. Remove the protective cover of the outer clamps and CV joint protective cover from the housing outer CV joint.
ATTENTION If you plan to reinstall the boot band, wrap (plastic) with insulating tape of the spline shaft to avoid damaging the cover (Fig. 3.124). |
Check Check the inner CV joint outer race, inner race, cage and balls for damage or rust. Check spline portion of the drive shaft for signs of increased wear. Make sure there is no water, foreign particles, dirt or rust in the outer CV joint protective cover.
