1. Slide inner tripod joint seal boot retaining clamp, onto interconnecting shaft. Then slide replacement inner tripod joint sealing boot onto the
interconnecting shaft. Inner tripod joint seal boot MUST be positioned on interconnecting shaft, so only the thinnest (sight) groove on
interconnecting shaft is visible (Fig. 26).
2. Install the spider assembly onto the interconnecting shaft. Spider assembly must be installed on interconnecting shaft far enough to fully install the
retaining snap ring. If spider assembly will not fully install on interconnecting shaft by hand, it can be installed by tapping the spider body with a
brass drift. Do not hit the outer tripod bearings in an attempt to install spider assembly on interconnecting shaft.
