Lancer L4-2.4L SOHC (2005)
CAUTION: Secure the driveshaft in an upright position and clamp part of the boot band to be crimped securely in the jaws of the special tool
MB991561. Crimp the boot band until the special tool MB991561 touches the stopper.
7. Use the special MB991561 tool to crimp the boot band (small).
8. Check that the crimping amount (D) of the boot band is at the standard value.
Standard value (D): 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.10 - 0.11 mm)
<If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm (0.11 inch)>
Readjust the value of (W) in step 5 according to the following formula, and then repeat the operation in step 7.
W = 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) - D
Example: If D = 2.9 mm (0.11 inch), then W = 2.6 mm (0.10 inch).
<If the crimping amount is smaller than 2.4 mm (0.10 inch)>
Remove the BJ/EBJ boot band, readjust the value of (W) in step 5 according to the following formula, and then repeat the operations in steps 6
and 7 using a new BJ/EBJ boot band.
W = 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) - D
Example: If D = 2.3 mm (0.09 inch), then W = 3.2 mm (0.13 inch).
9. Check that the boot band is not sticking out past the place where it has been installed. If the boot band is sticking out, remove it and then repeat
the operations in steps 6 to 8 using a new boot band.
CAUTION: The driveshaft joint uses special grease. Do not mix old and new or different types of grease.
10. Fill the inside of the boot with the specified amount of the specified grease.
Specified grease:
Repair kit grease Amount to use (BJ): 95 ± 10 g (3.4 ± 0.3 oz)
Amount to use (EBJ): 100 ± 10 g (3.5 ± 0.3 oz)
11. Align the center groove on the BJ/EBJ boot big end with the shaft groove.
12. Follow the same procedure as in step 5 to adjust the size of the opening (W) on the special tool so that it is at the standard value.
Standard value (W): 3.2 mm (0.13 inch)
