Constant Velocity Joint Boot: Service and Repair
Inner
CV BOOT - INNER
REMOVAL
To remove sealing boot from halfshaft for replacement, the halfshaft assembly must be removed from the vehicle.
The inner tripod joints use no internal retention in the tripod housing to keep the spider assembly in the housing. Therefore, do not pull on the
interconnecting shaft to disengage tripod housing from transmission stub shaft. Removal in this manner will cause damage to the inboard joint sealing
boots.
1. Remove the halfshaft requiring boot replacement from the vehicle.
2. Remove large boot clamp that retains inner tripod joint sealing boot to tripod joint housing (Fig. 28) and discard. Then remove small clamp that
retains inner tripod joint sealing boot to interconnecting shaft and discard. Remove the sealing boot from the tripod housing and slide it down the
interconnecting shaft.
CAUTION: When removing the spider joint from the tripod joint housing, hold the rollers in place on the spider trunions to prevent the rollers
and needle bearings from failing away.
3. Slide the interconnecting shaft and spider assembly out of the tripod joint housing (Fig. 29).
