Wipe off the grease from the constant velocity joint housing.

Measure the distance from the inner ring to the inner groove on the shaft. Note the measurement.

Removing the CV joint housing

Tap off the constant velocity joint housing. Use a brass drift.

NoteOnly tap the inner ring. Take care not to damage the ball holder or outer ring.

Removing the clamp from the inner boot (if the boot is being replaced)

Cut the boot and remove it from the shaft.

Note



The outer constant velocity joint can be cleaned while assembled. For checking and cleaning see Cleaning / checking theouter constant velocity joint .

NoteThe inner constant velocity joint can be cleaned while assembled and blown clean prior to greasing. To disassemble the joint,see See: Clean and mark up the constant velocity joint , See: Separate the shaft and pull out the inner joint and See:Checking and inspection .

To assemble and lubricate the outer joint:See Installing the inner ring in the ball holder , Lubricating the constant velocity joint , Replacing the circlip , Installing the newboots on the drive shaft , Greasing the boot and Venting the boot .

Cleaning / checking the outer constant velocity joint

Marking the outer ring for the outer constant velocity joint, ball holder and inner ring

Mark components in relation to each other. Use an electric scriber.

Removing the balls

Turn the inner joint ring and ball holder. Remove the ball bearings clockwise one by one. Use the marking as the starting pointwhen removing. See Marking the outer ring for the outer constant velocity joint, ball holder and inner ring . Place the ballbearings in order so that they can be reinstalled in the same positions.

Removing the ball holder and inner ring from the drive shaft



Turn the inner ring 90 degrees in relation to the ball holder. Remove the inner ring.

Cleaning constant velocity joint components

Clean the constant velocity joint components thoroughly

NoteReplace the drive shaft assembly if any component has cracking or wear damage. Scratches and minor pitting of the balltracks are permitted.

Installing the inner ring in the ball holder

Install the inner ring in the ball holder. Locate the markings to each other. Install a ball bearing.

NoteBall location.



Turn the inner ring and the ball bearing holder. Install the balls one by one in the same positions as before. See Removing theballs .

Lubricating the constant velocity joint

Lubricate the constant velocity joint thoroughly. Apply grease behind the joint via the shaft hole in the inner ring. Use half of thegrease packet. The remainder will be used later in the gaiter. See Greasing the boot .

Replacing the circlip

Install the new snap ring included in the boot kit.

Installation

Installing the new boots on the drive shaft



Install the constant velocity joint on the drive shaftEnsure that inner ring is straight in the constant velocity joint.

Tap on the constant velocity joint. Use a rubber mallet.

Check that the lock ring is seated in its groove. Do this by measuring the distance. See Checking the dimension .

Greasing the boot

Grease the boot. Apply the remaining grease from Lubricating the constant velocity joint .

NoteEnsure that there is no grease on the mating surfaces between the boot and the constant velocity joint and the shaft.

Remove excess grease. Use methylated spirit.

Ensure that the boot is in position on the constant velocity joint housing.

Install a new clamp. Use pliers

.

Venting the boot



Venting is carried out to remove any over pressure in the boot. Use a rounded screwdriver. Carefully insert the screwdriverbetween the drive shaft and boot. Ensure that the boot is in position on the drive shaft. Ensure that the boot is aligned againstthe inner rib on the drive shaft.

Install a new clamp. Use pliers

.

Removal

Preparatory work

Remove:the wheelthe nut for the anti-roll bar link in the spring strut. Counterhold using a torx wrench to prevent the boot from turning.Unhook the linkthe screw for the drive shaft. Press or knock the drive shaft 20-30 mm into the hubthe nut for the ball joint / link arm. Counterhold using a Torx wrench so that the ball joint boot does not rotate.

Press down on the control arm. Use tensioning strap

. Position the tensioning straps as close to the ball joints as possible.

Use the tensioning straps to press down the control arm until it is in contact with the sub-frame. Unhook the spring strut / balljoint from the control arm.

Removing the drive shaft from the wheel hub

Pull out the spring strut and remove the drive shaft from the hub. Hold the spring strut to one side using a tensioning strap formore space when removing the drive shaft.

Caution



On later version cars, there is a rubber seal on the outer constant velocity joint. Do not damage the seal. It will be needed forinstallation.

Removing the drive shaft from the transmission

Position a container under the transmission to collect the oil (Applies to cars with manual and automatic AW50-42transmissions).
