14. Slide the large diameter of the wheel drive shaft outboard seal (2), with the larger clamp (3) in place, over the outside of the trilobal tri-pot bushing
and locate the lip of the seal in the groove.
Important: The wheel drive shaft outboard seal must not be dimpled, stretched out or out of shape in any way. If the wheel drive shaft outboard seal
is not shaped correctly, carefully insert a thin, flat, blunt tool (no sharp edges) between the large seal opening and the trilobal tri-pot bushing in order
to equalize the pressure. Shape the wheel drive shaft outboard seal properly by hand. Remove the tool.
15. Position the joint assembly at the proper vehicle dimension.
