The joint should be dismounted to replace the grease in case of extreme dirt or when checking the wear and damage to the friction tracks and the balls.
   
–  Incline the hub and ball cage.
–  Expel the ball hub and cage from the joint in the -direction of the arrow-.
–  Remove the balls from the cage.
  Note
The ball hub and the element of the joint are matched and cannot be exchanged.

–  Extract the ball hub, keeping them inclined, keeping the balls on their friction tracks -arrows- in the cage.
–  Verify the joint element, the ball hub, the ball cage and the balls, searching for pitting and tracks.
  Note
Replace the joint if there is too much rotational play. This can be felt as knocks when the load is inverted. Even if the balls have smooth areas or tracks, there is no reason to change the joint.
