• Q: How to replace the CV Boot and CV Joint on the Wheel Drive Shaft Inner (FE7) on 2010 Cadillac DTS?

  A: First to remove the wheel drive shaft inner joint and boot, the wheel drive shaft inboard and outboard boot should not be cut through during the removal past the sealing surface hence allowing the entrance of water and dirt resulting in quick wearing of the constant velocity joint the constant velocity joint. First, cut with a hand grinder the small swage ring away, or remove the small seal retaining clamp with side cutters and throw it. Next, disengage the large seal retaining clamp from the tripot joint by using side cutters then throw it away with the same trigger. Remove the inboard seal from the trilobal tripot bushing at the large diameter and pull the seal from the joint off the halfshaft bar. Disassemble the housing from the tripot joint spider and the halfshaft bar. Your replacement surefire gunmetal twist original 2c rail mount tripod black for la firearm went their bank way so now i can don't buy one if your assortment was expensive that the same station. Shear the halfshaft bar with wire brush to remove rust in the boot mounting and gauge needle rollers, needle bearings, and trunnion for wear or distress and change identified harmed parts with the fitting pack. Suitable for installation, place the halfshaft in a vise with a towel to support the shaft. Mount the new small eared clamp onto the small end of the joint seal and slide both onto halfshaft bar ensuring that the small end of the joint seal is tucked in the groove of the halfshaft bar. Crimp the clamp of the eared clamp using j35910, a torque wrench, and a breaker bar. If available, install the spacer ring to the groove of halfshaft bar using j 8059 and then slide the tripot joint spider assembly onto the halfshaft bar. Fill half of the grease from the service kit into the half shaft inboard seal and the rest into the housing making sure that the trilobal tripot bushing is flush against the face of the housing. Mount the trilobal tripot bushing onto the housing and fit the larger new seal retaining clamp on the halfshaft inboard seal. Slip the housing over the tripot joint spider assembly and find the groove for the lip of the large diameter halfshaft inboard seal. Position the joint assembly with proper vehicle dimension of 106 mm (4.00 in) and slowly slide in a thin flat blunt object between the large seal opening and the trilobal tripot bushing to equalize the pressure before retracting the object. Somehow align the halfshaft inboard seal, tripot housing, and large seal retaining clamp, then crimp the seal retaining clamp giving the j 35910 of 176 nm (130 lb ft) to it using the breaker bar with a torque wrench where necessary. The gap dimension on the clamp ear should be checked and tighten until the gap dimension is equal to 2.6mm (0.102in) if it is greater. Finally, fully stroke the joint several times as the distribution of the grease.
