7. To completely seat the outboard joint, pick up the driveshaft and joint, and tap or hit the assembly
onto a hard surface from a height of about 10 cm
(4 in.).
NOTE: Do not use a hammer as excessive force
may damage the driveshaft. Be careful not to
damage the threaded section (A) of the outboard
joint.
8. Check the alignment of the paint mark (A) you made with the outboard joint end (B).
To avoid driveshaft and vehicle damage, the
shaft must be all the way into the outboard
joint to ensure the stop ring is properly
seated. 9. Pack the outboard joint (A) with the remaining
grease included in the new outboard boot set.
10. Fit the boot ends (A) onto the driveshaft (B) and outboard joint (C). Bleed any excess air from the
boot by inserting a flat-tipped screwdriver between
the boot and the joint.
Use the grease included
in the outboard boot set.

commercially available boot band pliers
(Kent-Moore J-35910 or equivalent) (B).
13. Check the clearance between the closed ear portion of the band. If the clearance is not within the
standard, close the ear portion of the band tighter.
14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 for the band on the other end of the boot.

NOTE: Before starting installation, make sure the
mating surfaces of the joint and the splined section are
clean.
1. Apply about 5 g (0.18 oz) moly 60 paste (P/N 08734-0001) to the contact area (A) of the
outboard joint and the front wheel bearing.
NOTE: The paste helps to prevent noise and
vibration.
2. Install a new set ring (A) onto the set ring groove (B) of the driveshaft (left driveshaft). 3. Install a new set ring (A) onto the set ring groove
(B) of the intermediate shaft.
4. Apply super high temp urea grease (P/N 08798-9002) to the whole splined surface (A) of
the right driveshaft. After applying grease, remove
the grease from the splined grooves at intervals of
2 3 splines and from the set ring groove (B) so
that air can bleed from the intermediate shaft.
Replace.

5. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the
differential thoroughly with solvent or brake
cleaner, and dry with compressed air.
NOTE: Do not wash the rubber parts with solvent.
6. Insert the inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) or the intermediate shaft (C) until the
set ring (D) locks in the groove (E).
NOTE: Insert the driveshaft horizontally to prevent
damaging the oil seal. 7. Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B).
8. Connect the knuckle (A) onto the lower arm (B).
During installation, install a new flange bolt and
new self-locking nuts. After lightly tightening all
three fasteners, tighten them to the specified
torque in the following order: the nut on the front
(C), the nut on the rear (D), then the bolt (E).
