Boot Removal
2. Cut the front wheel driveshaft joint boot clamps using side cutters and pull away from the front wheel driveshaft joint boot. After removing the
front wheel driveshaft joint boot clamp, slide front wheel driveshaft joint boot down over shaft.
3. Support interconnecting shaft in a soft jaw vise and angle the CV joint to expose the inner bearing race.
4. Using a brass drift and hammer, give a sharp tap to the inner bearing race to dislodge the internal driveshaft bearing retainer circlip and separate
the front wheel driveshaft joint from the interconnecting shaft. Care should be taken not to drop the front wheel driveshaft joint at separation.
