To prevent accidental damage to the drive axle boots when doing service work on a vehicle in the area of the drive axle, it is recommended that
Protectors J-28712 be installed on the boots (refer to illustration). It is also important that these boot protectors be used when drive axle assembly is
removed from a vehicle (transmission removal, etc.).
Beside protecting the boot, the protectors aid in preventing over-extension when removing a drive axle. If a drive axle joint is over-extended, internal
parts may fall out and there is a potential for dirt entering joint which will result in failure of the axle.
Always remember to remove the protectors after the service work is completed.
