- Inspect all of the parts
for unusual wear, cracks, or other damage. Replace the CV joint assembly
if necessary.
- Put a light coat of the recommended grease on the inner (6)
and the outer race (8) grooves.
- Hold the inner race (1)
at 90 degrees to the centerline of the cage (2).
- Align the lands of the inner race (1) with the windows
of the cage (2).
- Insert the inner race (1) into the cage (2), by
rotating the inner race (1) downward.
- Insert the cage (4)
and inner race into the outer race (1).
- Place a brass drift against
the CV joint cage (1).
- Tap gently on the brass drift with a hammer in order to tilt the
cage (1).
- Install the first chrome alloy ball (2) when the CV joint
cage (1) tilts.
- Tilt the CV joint cage (1) in the opposite direction to
install the opposing chrome alloy ball (2).
- Repeat this process in order to install all six of the balls.
- Pack the CV joint seal (1)
and the CV joint assembly with the grease supplied in the kit. The amount
of grease supplied in this kit has been pre-measured for this application.
- Place the new small seal clamp (2) onto the CV joint seal.
- Slide the CV joint seal (1) onto the halfshaft bar.
- Position the small end of the CV joint seal into the joint seal
groove (3) on the halfshaft bar.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Secure the small seal clamp (1) using J 35910
(or equivalent), a breaker bar, and a torque wrench.
Tighten
Torque the small clamp (1) to 136 N·m (100 lb ft).
Check the gap dimension on the clamp ear.
- Using your hand, pinch
the new swage ring (1) into an oval shape.
- Slide the distorted swage ring (1) over the large diameter
of the CV joint seal.
Important: Be sure that the retaining ring side of the CV joint inner race faces
the halfshaft bar (1) before installation.
- Slide the CV joint (2) onto the halfshaft bar (1). The
retaining snap ring that is inside of the inner race engages in the halfshaft
bar groove with a click when the CV joint is in the proper position.
- Slide the large diameter
of the CV joint seal (1), with the large swage ring (2) in
place, over the outside edge of the CV joint outer race (3).
- Mount J 36652
.
- Pull on the CV joint (1) to verify engagement.
Important: Align the following items during this procedure:
- Position the CV joint end (outboard end) (1) of the halfshaft
bar assembly in the bottom half of J 36652
.
- Install the top half of J 36652
onto the lower half
of J 36652
, over the
CV joint (1) and the CV joint seal.
- Align the swage ring and the swage ring clamp.
- Insert the bolts into J 36652
. Hand tighten the bolts until the bolts are snug.
Tighten
Each bolt 180 degrees at a time. Tighten each bolt alternately
until both sides of the top half of J 36652
touch the bottom half of J 36652
.
- Loosen the bolts and remove the halfshaft assembly from J 36652
.
