2. Slide the halfshaft boot cover (1) onto the halfshaft assembly (2), starting at the outboard (CV joint) end.
3. Align the inboard clamp (2) on the inboard joint (1). Align the boot cover seam so the seam is straight.
Important: Tighten the boot cover clamp (1) as tight as possible without deforming the retaining clip. Clamps that are not tight enough allow the
cover to slide upon the joint. This causes shortened service life.
4. Use J 41187 in order to tighten the inboard boot cover clamp (1).
5. Rotate J 41187 toward the clip in order to bend the band onto the clip.
6. Pull on the tool's cutting handle in order to cut off the excess band.
