Constant Velocity Joint: Service and Repair
Outboard
REMOVAL
Outboard joints are permanently attached to halfshafts during production. Other than dust boot replacement, no attempt to service these assemblies
should be made. Boot replacement first requires that the inboard joint be removed from the shaft so the old boot may be withdrawn and the new boot
installed from the inboard side. Replace the outboard boot as described under ``Outer Joint Service.''
