Inboard Joint Side
  1. Wrap the splines with vinyl tape (A) to prevent damaging the inboard boot.
  1. Install the inboard boot onto the driveshaft, then remove the vinyl tape. Be careful not to damage the inboard boot.
  1. Install the spider (A) onto the driveshaft by aligning the marks (B) you made on the spider and the end of the driveshaft.
  1. Install a new circlip (C) into the driveshaft groove. Always rotate the circlip in its groove to make sure it is fully seated.
  1. Fit the rollers (A) onto the spider (B) with the high shoulders facing outward, and note these items:
    • Reinstall the rollers in their original positions on the spider by aligning the marks (C) you made.
    • Hold the driveshaft pointed up to prevent the rollers from falling off.
  1. Pack the inboard joint with the joint grease included in the new inboard boot set.

    Right
    112−132 g (4.0−4.7 oz)

  1. Fit the inboard joint onto the driveshaft and note these items:
    • Reinstall the inboard joint onto the driveshaft by aligning the marks (A) you made on the inboard joint and the rollers.
    • Hold the driveshaft so the inboard joint is pointing up to prevent it from falling off.
  1. Fit the boot ends (A) onto the driveshaft (B) and the inboard joint (C).
  1. Adjust the length (A) of the driveshafts to the figure as shown, then adjust the boots to halfway between full compression and full extension. Bleed excess air from the boots by inserting a flat-tipped screwdriver between the boot and the joint.

  1. Install the new boot bands.
    • For the double loop type, go to Step 11 .
    • For the low profile type, go to Step 20 .
Driveshaft type 1
Driveshaft type 2
  1. Fit the boot ends onto the driveshaft and the inboard joint, then install a new double loop band (A) onto the boot (B).
    NOTE: Pass the end of the new double loop band through the clip (C) twice in the direction of the forward rotation of the driveshaft.
  1. Pull up the slack in the band by hand.
  1. Mark a position (A) on the band 10−14 mm (0.4−0.6 in.) from the clip (B).
  1. Thread the free end of the band through the nose section of the commercially available boot band tool KD-3191 or equivalent (A), and into the slot on the winding mandrel (B).
  1. Using a wrench on the winding mandrel of the boot band tool, tighten the band until the marked spot (C) on the band meets the edge of the clip.
  1. Lift up the boot band tool to bend the free end of the band 90 degrees to the clip. Center-punch the clip, then fold over the remaining tail onto the clip.
  1. Unwind the boot band tool, and cut off the excess free end of the band to leave a 5−10 mm (0.2−0.4 in.) tail protruding from the clip.
  1. Bend the band end (A) by tapping it down with a hammer.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure the band and the clip do not interfere with anything on the vehicle and the band does not move.
    • Clean any grease remaining on the surrounding surfaces.
  1. Repeat Step 11 through 18 for the band on the other end of the boot.
  1. Install a new low profile band (A) onto the boot (B), then hook the tab (C) of the band.
  1. Close the hook portion of the band with a commercially available boot band pincers (A), then hook the tabs (B) of the band.
  1. Install the boot band on the other end of the boot, and repeat Step 20 through 21.
Outboard Joint Side
  1. Wrap the splines with vinyl tape (A) to prevent damaging the outboard boot.
  1. Install the new ear clamp bands (B) and the outboard boot, then remove the vinyl tape. Be careful not to damage the outboard boot.
  1. Make sure to check the size of a new stop ring.
    To avoid driveshaft and vehicle damage, make sure you install a new stop ring.
    Stop ring specifications
    Overall diameter (A):
    22.2 mm (0.87 in.)
    Wire diameter (B):
    1.6 mm (0.06 in.)

  1. Install a new stop ring (A) into the driveshaft groove (B).
  1. Pack about 35 g (1.2 oz) grease included in the new outboard boot set into the driveshaft hole in the outboard joint.
    NOTE: If you are installing a new outboard joint, the grease is already installed.
  1. Insert the driveshaft (A) into the outboard joint (B) until the stop ring (C) is close to the joint.
  1. To completely seat the outboard joint, pick up the driveshaft and joint, and tap or hit them from a height of about 10 cm (4 in.) onto a hard surface.
    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.
  1. Check the alignment of the paint mark (A) you made with the outboard joint rim (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.
  1. Pack the outboard joint (A) with the remaining joint grease included in the new outboard boot set.
    Total grease quantity
    Outboard joint: 107−127 g (3.8−4.5 oz)

  1. Fit the boot ends (A) onto the driveshaft (B) and the outboard joint (C). Bleed any excess air from the boot by inserting a flat-tipped screwdriver between the boot and the joint.
  1. Inspect the length (A) of the driveshafts to the figure as shown, then adjust the boots to halfway between full compression and full extension.

  1. Close the ear portion (A) of the band with commercially available boot band pliers Kent-Moore J-35910 or equivalent (B).
  1. 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.
  1. Repeat Step 12 and 13 for the band on the other end of the boot.
