5. Lace a brass drift / screw driver against the

CV joint cage, tap gently on the brass drift /

screw driver with mallet in order to tilt the

cage.

Install the chrome alloy ball when the CV joint

cage tilts. Repeat this procedure to install all

six of the balls as shown (Fig. 145).

6. Fill the CV joint with half of the grease

supplied in the service kit and install the new

CV joint retainer ring in the groove of the CV

inner race.

7. Clean the axle shaft using a wire brush to

remove any rust in the seal mounting area

(grooves).

8. Install the new small retaining clamp on the

neck of the seal and do not crimp. Slide the

CV joint seal onto the axle shaft towards tripot

end.

Position the small seal retaining clamp on the

boot seal.

10. Align the inner race spline and the axle spline

in 1800 position and press the CV joint

assembly in to the axle bar until the joint

could not move further in the axle bar. Gently

tap the CV outer axially with a mallet if

required.

This ensures that the retaining ring is engaged in

the inner race.

9. Slide the boot seal into the seal groove on the

axle shaft and check the clamp position to

ensure that it is positioned correctly around

the entire circumference, then crimp the small

retainer by using the crimping pincer tool
