Use wood lined jaws to prevent damage when mounting the CV in a vise. Inspect the CV joint for excessive play and smooth operation. For instance, if the boot is torn, then disassemble the joint, clean its components and inspect them for any damages. Pry loose the retaining tabs found on the clamps, and then remove them. Carefully pry the outer boot away from the CV joint and pull back the inner boot. Mark the tripod and axleshaft for reassembly purposes. Take out the tripod joint snap-ring and remove inner stop-ring. In case it is necessary, cut off boots or remove clamp for dynamic damper. Check all components, clean them and look at wear indicators to come up with an informed decision on whether they need replacement or repair. If there are any worn parts in inner CV joint install a new one on an old part of axleshaft. In case of any worn parts in outer CV joint, purchase a new one and axleshaft respectively. To reassemble, wrap electrical tape around splines on axleshaft; slide clamps(s) and boot(s) onto this shaft. Put inner stop-ring as well as tripod on this shaft while aligning marks made previously. Packing grease into CV joints (s) and applying some inside of boots(s). Insert packing grease around tripod within housing grease that remains. After sliding this boot into position ensure that both ends seat their grooves perfectly too. Equate pressure inside each boot then clamp tightly all around.
