Wipe off grease from the cv joint inner race then use snap ring pliers (J8059) to open the retaining ring's ears before extracting the cv joint assembly from the bar .

The CV Joint is one of the car's significant components that define the Lumina series' reliability and performance, which came between the years 1989 to 2013. This CV Joint is very crucial in translating the power from the transaxle to the wheels; allows suspension movement and steering thus making it efficient and safe. The Chevrolet Lumina usually uses Rzeppa joints at one end and plunging joints on the other end of the shafts of the axle since front-wheel-drive requires constant rotational speed. Lumina models employ several kinds of CV joints; Tracta, Birfield and Tripod; thus, CV Joint is remarkable for wide articulation, especially, Rzeppa. Where these CV joints are used, their rubber boots need to be maintained well since any signs of wear could compromise the boot's ability to protect the lubricant and the joint. Substantial enhancements to Chevrolet Lumina such as improvements in the suspension system as well as the addition of sophisticated systems including the Turbo-Hydramatic 125 transmission prove that CV Joint's role in providing a st structurally sound and good drive is fundamental. On its part, the Lumina CV Joint is a major innovation that Chevrolet holds proudly; not only it improves vehicles' performance but also ensures the safety of passengers. Altogether, CV Joint can be considered one of the crucial components that maintains the epidemiological value of the car with the Lumina continuing to be loved by those who seek high performance and safety on the road.
