What tools are required to service and repair the CV Joint Boot for the Wheel Drive Shaft Outer Joint and Seal Replacement on Buick LaCrosse?

The replacement and servicing of the constant velocity joint boot including wheel drive shaft outer joint and seal demands the following toolkit: j 41048 drive axle swage ring clamp and j 8059 snap ring pliers together with j 35910 drive axle seal clamp pliers. You need three specific tools to complete the job including: j 41048 drive axle swage ring clamp, j 8059 snap ring pliers, j 35910 drive axle seal clamp pliers. Start by cutting away the large clamp from the CV Joint with a side cutter then discard it but avoid damaging the wheel drive shaft inboard seal. A hand grinder will cut through the swage ring so you can remove it. When working on the CV Joint the technician first removes the outboard halfshaft seal while pulling it toward the component's bar. Use the snap ring pliers to widen and then spread the race retaining ring's ears before cleaning the CV Joint inner race. Disassemble the CV Joint assembly from the halfshaft bar before you discard the existing outboard seal. A brass drift used with a hammer will help you tilt the CV Joint cage until all six chrome alloy balls fall out. Use cleaning solvent to wipe all components of the inner and outer race assemblies and also clean the CV Joint cage and chrome alloy balls. Subsequently dry the parts and check for any signs of wear or damage making replacements as needed. Clear the halfshaft bar of rust by brushing it with a steel wire to prepare the seal mounting space. Place the halfshaft inside a vise then position the new swage ring or eared clamp around the outboard seal's neck before putting the outboard seal onto the halfshaft bar. To install a swage ring place the halfshaft assembly's outboard end into the j 41048 then align the swage ring by applying bolts alternately until they become tight. Rotating the swaged ring for any signs of damage and redersoning if damages are present. Apply a torque of 136 n.m (100 lb ft) via the j 35910 and torque wrench while using a breaker bar to crimp the eared clamp. Confirm that the gap dimension is accurate. Next put grease into the ball grooves of both races before sliding the inner race into the cage and setting it next to the outer race. Insert chrome balls first followed by packing the CV Joint with grease before pushing the CV Joint onto the halfshaft bar until the retaining ring finds its seat. Use a j 35910 tool to crimp the large clamp which seals the outboard of the CV Joint's outer race to 174 n.m (130 lb ft) torque. Verify the clamp ear gap dimensions join.
