Front Driveshaft Installation
1. Install a new set ring in the set ring groove of the driveshaft (left driveshaft).
2. Apply 0.5 - 1.0 g (0.02 - 0.04 oz) of grease to the whole splined surface (A) of the right driveshaft. After applying grease, remove the grease from
the splined grooves at intervals of 2-3 splines and from the set ring groove (B) so that air can bleed from the intermediate shaft.
3. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the differential thoroughly with brake cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Do not wash the rubber
parts with solvent. Insert the inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) or intermediate shaft (C) until the set ring (D) locks in the
groove (E).
4. Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B).
