What Tools Are Required to Replace the Front Wheel Drive Shaft Inner CV Joint and Seal on GMC Yukon XL 2500?

Question

Accepted Answer

The task of replacing wheel drive shaft inner joint and seal demands three specific waco tools: j 35910 seal clamp tool (J 35910) along with j 36652 drive axle clamp swage tool (J 36652) followed by j 36652-98 axle swage tool (J 36652-98). First cut the swage ring with a hand grinder to take out the tripot housing from the halfshaft and wash away all contaminants before allowing it to dry. The process begins with removing the small boot retaining clamp using side cutters followed by extraction of the spacer ring together with tripot spider assembly and tripot boot from the halfshaft bar. A wire brush removes rust from the halfshaft bar enabling an inspection for damage to needle rollers and needle bearings as well as trunnion components. Replace all damaged parts with the recommended service kits. To ensemble the system place the new small seal clamp onto the joint seal then compress it onto the halfshaft bar with the j 35910 tool which must be tightened to 136 nm (100 ft. Lbs.). Position the correct number of convolutions on the convolute retainer tool over the inboard joint seal according to the model specifications. Fitting the tripot spider assembly to the spacer ring requires packing the tripot seal and housing with supplied grease before assembling the tripot housing with its seal. Use the j 36652-01 base in a vise for the 1500 models (not including 1500 HD) except the 1500 hd, 2500, 3500, hummer h2 models should use the j 36652-98. Insert the inboard halfshaft assembly end into the selected base then place the top tool section into position before aligning the swage ring and clamp and tightening the bolts by hand. Following alignment of the tripot boot and housing along with the swage ring the bolts should be tightened in a weaved pattern to ensure the tool makes full contact. The team should examine the inboard stroke placement using specified dimensions for all models before removing the convolute retainer device from the boot.
