5. Slide sealing boot off interconnecting shaft.
6. Thoroughly clean and inspect spider assembly, tripod joint housing, and interconnecting shaft for any signs of excessive wear. If any parts show
signs of excessive wear, the driveshaft assembly will require replacement. Component parts of these driveshaft assemblies are not serviceable.
Installation
NOTE: The inner tripod joint sealing boots are made from two different types of material. High temperature applications use silicone rubber where as
standard temperature applications use hytrel plastic. The silicone sealing boots are soft and pliable. The Hytrel sealing boots are stiff and rigid. The
replacement sealing boot MUST BE the same type of material as the sealing boot which was removed.
PROCEDURE
1. Slide inner tripod joint seal boot retaining clamp, onto interconnecting shaft. Then, slide the replacement inner tripod joint sealing boot onto the
interconnecting shaft. Inner tripod joint seal boot MUST be positioned on interconnecting shaft, so the raised bead on the inside of the seal boot is
in groove on interconnecting shaft.
