models, slide rubber seal over stub shaft and into groove.
2. On all models, slide small end of boot over shaft. On Tubular type shafts, align boot lip with mark on shaft outer diameter. On solid type shafts,
position small end of boot in groove on shaft.
3. Place rubber clamp over groove on boot.
4. Install tripod on shaft with non-chamfered face of tripod body facing shaft retainer groove.

CITROEN units or 1-2 packet on S.S.G. units.

CITROEN units, reform or replace retainer ring. On G.K.N. units, bend retaining tabs. On 1984 A.C.I. units, align rollers with retaining tabs and
housing tracks and pop one roller at a time through retaining tabs. On 1985---87 A.C.I. units, slide tripod onto housing. On 1986---87 S.S.G. units,

boot over boot groove in housing, then install clamp. When installing housing, check to ensure that spring remains in pocket and centered in
