How to replace the front drive axle's CV joint and CV boot on Chevrolet K3500?

Before you change the shaft and its outer boot, make sure to secure one end of the halfshaft in a vise with safety covers. Trim the swage ring with a hand tool carefully so that you don't damage the cv joint outside the race. Remove the small boot clamp, put the boot over the halfshaft bar and use a clean cloth to wipe off the cv joint face. Pull the halfshaft bar retaining snap ring ears apart using j8059 and then remove the cv joint and the old boot from the halfshaft bar. Use the brass drift to gently strike and push the cage while it is tilted to send all the chrome alloy balls out. Turn the whole setup upside down and remove the assemblies by 90 degrees. After that, clean the inner and outer race, cv joint cage and the chrome alloy balls with solvent to remove any old grease. See if the tire has any signs of wear or damage and change parts that show defects. Once everything is ready, check the parts once more and coat their grooves on both sides with a thin layer of grease. Line up the inner race with the cage windows, insert it and then place both into the outer race. Slant the cage to fit the alloy balls inside and as you do, pack the boot with the grease from the kit. Attach the new clamp from j35910 to the shaft after tightening it to 136 nm (100 ft. Lbs.) and before putting on the cv boot, have the retaining ring part of the inner race facing the halfshaft. Squeeze the large swage ring onto the large diameter of the boot to put it over the cv joint outer race, ensuring you line up the assembly and swage ring properly as you move forward. After this, install the upper section of j36652, twist the bolts one way, then the other until they are touching, loosen them again and take out the halfshaft from the tool.
