CV JOINT CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Clean the CV axle shaft and external joint area.
2. Wipe away the old grease from inside and around the joint. If the grease
feels gritty, use solvent to clean the CV joint of all old grease, dirt and other
contamination. (Grit often means that the joint is permanently damaged).
After cleaning, allow joint to air dry completely before proceeding. Do not
use compressed air to dry joint. Inspect joint for signs of damage to internal
components before proceeding. If joint is suitable for reuse, repack with grease.
3. If no grit was found in previous step, simply wipe away all old grease and
completely repack CV joint cage and balls with grease supplied. Do not fill the new
boot with grease.
LUBRICATION
Using a small amount of supplied grease, wipe the boot seam to aid sealing.
AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspect completed installation by rotating wheel slowly while observing joint. Boot
should rotate evenly and seal should remain completely closed. The vehicle may be
driven immediately. Boot should be inspected every 12 months or 2,000 miles.
