You need Snap Ring Pliers (J 8059), Eared Clamp Tool (J 35910), Small Swage Tool (J 41048), a breaker bar alongside a torque wrench for this repair job. Start the replacement procedure by cutting off the large boot retaining clamp from the CV joint with a side cutter before discarding it. Next, use a side cutter to disconnect the small boot retaining clamp from the halfshaft bar. The outer race of the CV joint must be separated from the boot before sliding the boot at least one inch away from the bar direction. Before removing the CV joint assembly from the bar use the Snap Ring Pliers (J 8059) to open the retaining ring's ears after wiping grease off the CV joint inner race face. Tapping the CV joint cage with a brass drift and hammer helps remove the chrome alloy balls while you keep the boot away from the bar . Use cleaning solvent to cleanse the CV joint cage with balls as well as the inner and outer race assemblies until all older grease and contaminants disappear before the elements dry. After mounting the new swage ring on the small end of the joint boot you should position it onto the halfshaft bar. First set the boot into its boot groove then fix the Small Swage Tool (J 41048) inside a vise so that the halfshaft assembly's outer end points toward the tool. Begin bolt tightening with hand pressure until they reach normal resistance before alternating each bolt's tightening 180 degrees using a ratchet wrench. Using service kit grease, apply a very thin covering to the inner and outer race ball grooves. Next, insert the inner race into the cage making sure the retaining ring side points toward the halfshaft bar. Place the cage windows in exact alignment with the outer race's lands before combining cage and inner race components within the outer race assembly. High-precision installation requires the insertion of chrome balls followed by grease packing of the CV joint while carefully molding the outboard boot. Using a Eared Clamp Tool (J 35910), breaker bar, and torque wrench crimp the large boot retaining clamp to meet a 176 Nm (130 ft. lbs.) torque specification while verifying the clamp ear gap dimensional compliance.
