Start with un-engagement of the transaxle stub shaft in case of halfshaft tripot removal, discarding the old snap ring along with it. Remove and dispose of the snap ring using the Snap Ring Pliers (J8059) then apply the stub shaft removal tool (J38868) to the snap ring groove and the impact slide hammer (J6125) to eject the shaft from the tripot housing. Install new snap rings onto the stub shaft under consideration, without damaging the inboard seal. Remove the small and the large seal retaining clamps using the side cutters and dispose them in an appropriate manner. Then separate and slide the seal away from the joint to remove the bar and the housing from the tripot joint spider. Utilize the snap ring pliers (J8059) to open the spacer ring and insert the spacer ring and spider assembly back onto the screw bar. Clean all the components with solvent, making sure that you check for any signs of damage or wear before assembly. Feed the small seal retaining clamp and install it on the inboard seal neck, slide the seal onto the halfshaft bar and crimp the clamp with the drive axle seal clamp pliers (J35910) to the necessary torque. Place the spacer ring and position the spider assembly properly before sliding it toward the spacer ring. Mount the second retaining ring by means of the snap ring pliers (J8059), and then grease up the housing and install the trilobal tripot bushing flush with housing face. Finally, position the larger new clamp to the seal, slide the housing to the spider assembly and make sure they are aligned and then shut the seal retaining clamp with the drive axle seal clamp pliers (J35566).

Wipe any grease from the inner race and then use the J 8059 Snap Ring Pliers to spread the CV joint inner race race retaining ring's ears before removing the CV joint assembly from the bar. Remove the seal from the bar and carefully tap the CV joint cage with the help of a brass drift and hammer so as to push out all the six chrome alloy balls. Rotate the CV joint cage and inner race to 90 degrees relative to the CV joint outer race, so that the windows of the cage align with the lands of the outer race. Take out the cage and inner race after which one rotates inner race 90 degrees to align it with the windows of the cage and turns it into the cage. Clean all parts thoroughly with Cleaning solvent and let them dry. For assembly, install the seal retaining clamp on the neck of the seal where it wasn't crimped and then slide the seal onto the halfshaft bar while positioning it on the seal groove. Crimp the seal retaining clamp with the help of J 35910 Drive Axle Seal Clamp Pliers, breaker bar, and torque wrench, holding 136 (100 ft. lbs.

Ensure that the retaining ring side of the inner faces the halfshaft bar, then insert the cage and inner race in the outer race. Put the first chrome ball and tip the cage to add the opposite ball, then continue to do this until there are six balls in place. After that, the CV joint should be packed with grease, then one should push the CV joint onto the bar until the retaining ring is seated, and the seal should be shaped properly. Push the large diameter of the seal in conjunction with the large seal retaining clamp to fit over the CV joint outer race such that the seal lip is fitted into the groove. Lastly, crimp the seal retaining clamp with the J 35910 , breaker bar , and a torque wrench till making the gap dimension 1.90mm ( /16 inch) 176Nm (130ft. lbs.).
