Question

Accepted Answer

Tools for reference to service and repair the Axle Shaft assembly, namely wheel drive shaft outer joint and boot replacement include: tool, clip seal (J 35910), tool, swage clamp (J 41048), and pliers, snap ring (J 8059). Start by clamping the halfshaft into a vise with the jaws covered by protective guards. These will be cut using a hand grinder without causing damage to the outer race through the swage rings. Compress the seal from the halfshaft and wipe all grease from the cv joint face. Find the halfshaft retaining snap ring at the inner race and pull the snap ring ears apart using j 8059. Pull the cv joint from the half shaft and get rid of the old seal. Use a brass drift to tilt the cage and take out all balls, then pivot the cage and inner race to discharge them. Degrease all cv joints parts and inspect for wear or damage and replace any of the defective parts. For assembly, inspect all parts also apply light coat of grease on their inner and outer race grooves. Ensure that plans the inner race are lined with the windows, and place them into the cage and then introducing the cage and inner race into the outer race. Tilt the cage with a brass drift and reinstall all balls. Pack the cv joint seal and assembly with the pre-measured grease that came with the kit and put the new small swage clamp on the cv joint seal and the big retaining clamp on the seal. Push the cv joint seal into the groove of the halfshaft bar and utilize j41048 to align and clamp the swage on. Tighten the bolts by hand to snug then alternate between the two bolts going 180 degrees on each of the two bolts until they are both bottomed. Loosen the bolts and disassemble the dies, check for deformity in the swage clamp and reinsert if needed. Make sure that before you place the retaining snap ring into the inner race, the retaining ring side of the cv joint inner race is position in the direction of the halfshaft bar. Slide the cv joint onto the half shaft bar, confirm engagement and locate the cv joint derby on the outer race - this should be put in your position. Lastly, apply the large retaining clamp to the housing by torque sequencing with j 35910, a breaker bar and a torque wrench, applying torque to 176nm (130 Ft. Lbs.) and checking the gap dimension on the clamp ear.
