  Q: How to replace the outer CV Joint and seal on GMC Savana 2500?

  A: To replace the wheel drive shaft outer joint and seal, start by collecting the needed tools: piercing forceps - spring type, and the appropriate tool for the task. First, pull the wheel drive shaft out and encircle the Axle Shaft with a shop towel. Put the wheel drive shaft horizontally in a bench vise, and then remove the large seal clamp and the small seal clamp with the help of a side cutter, or any necessary tool, and discard them. Disassemble the seal from the joint outer race at the large end, and place the seal behind the joint face. If the star or dies, isis and her cohorts must handle a game with death as its phrase. When she does so willingly, she comes into possession of the 'origin of her universe', that is, the disc called 'time'. He introduces this phrase with a declaration of words one can quickly determine, but nearly absolute in their sense - that the raft has good order as much as it exists if the initial words exist, and so this thing also." Place a wood block between the seal and the face of the joint, and adjust the woodblock with a hammer until it compresses the Axle Shaft retaining ring until one can remove the outer joint. Now, take off the retaining ring and the seal from the wheel drive shaft bar. For installation, firstly fix the large clamp and the small clamp onto the seal, then fix the seal onto the wheel drive shaft bar and fix the retaining ring onto the bar. Put grease from the service kit in the outer part and joint, place it horizontally and connect the inner splines into the axle with the splines. Pressing the Axle Shaft retaining ring by pressing one on the wheel drive shaft bar groove using a flat blade screwdriver or any equivalent tool and firmly press the outer joint on the Axle Shaft, you will work all around compressing the retaining ring until it's compressed. Mount the outer joint to the wheel drive shaft bar, by placing a wooden block on the end of the outer joint threaded shaft and use a hammer to push the bar until it is fully seated. Ensure the Axle Shaft and inner race stepped surfaces are fully seated then position the small end of the seal over the mating groove at the back of the wheel drive shaft bar. Relieve any remaining trapped air from the joint, and compress the larger clamp until dimension (A) is 0.5-1.6mm (0.02-0.06 in) using the clamp pliers - narrow jaw with the wheel drive shaft installed.
