Special tools 951 2619, 999 2842
Preparations
Remove the drive shaft.
Removing the boot
Secure the drive shaft in a vise with soft jaws.
Remove the clamps from the boot.
Cut the boot and remove it from the shaft.
Note: If only the joint is to be replaced and not the boot, pull the boot back and do not cut it.
Clean the constant velocity joint
Wipe off the grease from the constant velocity joint. Note the position of the constant velocity joint on the shaft in order to install it in the correct
position later. Measure for example the distance from the inner ring to the inner groove on the shaft.
Constant velocity joint with visible snap ring
If the constant velocity joint has a visible snap ring, the snap ring must be held open and the constant velocity joint released. The snap ring is visible in
a cut-out on the inner ring.
Drive shaft without visible snap ring. Tap off the constant velocity joint housing
