Figure 7 Trim Stick Inserted for Venting CV Joint
10. Insert a trim stick (4) (Figure 7) between the CV joint housing and the sealing boot insert to vent inner CV joint assembly. When inserting trim
stick between tripod housing and sealing boot ensure trim stick is held flat and firmly against the tripod housing. If this is not done
damage to the sealing boot can occur.
11. With trim stick inserted between sealing boot insert and the CV joint housing, position the interconnecting shaft so it is at the center of its travel in
the tripod joint housing. Remove the trim stick from between the sealing boot insert and the CV joint housing. This procedure will equalize the
air pressure in the CV joint, preventing premature sealing boot failure.
