For LH inboard large front wheel driveshaft joint boot clamp, locate clamp tabs in slots. Make front wheel driveshaft joint boot clamps as tight
as possible by hand.
CAUTION: All vehicles require a reusable low profile large front wheel driveshaft joint boot clamp on the RH inboard CV joint housing.
NOTE: Before installing front wheel driveshaft joint boot clamp, make sure any air pressure which may have built up in front wheel
driveshaft joint boot is relieved. Insert a dulled screwdriver blade between front wheel driveshaft joint boot and inboard CV joint housing to
allow trapped air to escape from front wheel driveshaft joint boot. The air should be released from the front wheel driveshaft joint boot only
after adjusting to dimension shown in the Halfshaft Assembled Length Specifications image.

starting one end in groove and working circlip over stub shaft end and into groove.
CAUTION: Do not over-expand or twist circlip during installation. DO NOT reuse circlips. Replace with new circlips before assembly.
