Refitting (page 2 of 2)

1. Wash the constant velocity joints thoroughly with naphtha or petrol, and visually check that the balls and their seatings mirror each other perfectly and have no signs of seizure or scoring.
2. If the balls fall out of their seatings during withdrawal of the joints, for correct re-assembly, follow the references given in the figure, i.e. "A" must line up with "A" and "B" with "B", otherwise the joint will remain jammed.

3. After carrying out the following checks, refit the parts reversing the procedure for removal, bearing in mind that the bolts securing the two half shells of the damping weight must first be tightened lightly and then tightened to a torque of no more than 0.7 daNm.

it is advisable to renew the protective gaiters whenever they are removed, and it is important to fill both constant velocity joint and gaiter with TUTELA MRM2 grease.
