If the CV joints have to be replaced, one should consider all viable possibilities before starting the task, as rebuilt CV boot sets are available on an exchange basis, which will prove beneficial in the long run. In either case, compare the cost and whereabouts of the respective spares before dismantling the car, and do not dismantle the outboard CV joint. Mount the CV boot in a vice with the wood-lined jaws and this is to avoid damaging the axle in the process for it will be easy to check if the CV joint is moving excessively to and from that is flexible of smooth operation when subjected to force. If a particular boot is damaged it should be dissembled by unzipping the joint area where the fabric is ripped and then the parts should be cleaned to check for further damages. With a small screwdriver, you should pull the retaining tabs of the clamps; To do it, pry up the outer boot of your hard drive and take it off. Draw the inner CV joint boot back and remove the housing from the tripod while noting the position of the tripod and the axleshaft for proper assembly. The snap-ring which secures the tripod joint is to be taken out by snap-ring pliers, now use a hammer and a brass punch tool while applying care not to harm the bearing surfaces of the tripod joint to be dismounted from the CV boot. If not already done, remove both boots and apply protection to the splines at the internal end of the axleshaft using some type of tape. Remove all the components which are soaked in solvent to check the surfaces of bearings for wearing; in case of wear on the inner CV joint, the new joint can be put on the old axleshaft, but in the case of wear on the outer joint, the new outer joint and the axleshaft are needed. To break down, first you have to slide off the clamps and the boot over the axleshaft; next place the tripod over the shaft; apply grease and then the tripod into its housing and pack grease around it. Adjust the position of the boot, center the driveshaft stump on the axle, pump the boot to the same pressure, put the boot band into position before securing the driveshaft and the new assembly.
