Toyota 04438-08060 Front Cv Joint Boot Kit In Outboard Right

To disassemble a CV boot, first, remove it and mount it in a vise with wood-lined jaws. Check the CV joint for excessive play and smooth operation. If a boot is torn, disassemble the joint, clean the components, and inspect for damage. Cut the boot clamps and carefully pry up on the edge of the outer boot to remove it. Pull the inner CV joint boot back from the housing and slide the housing from the tripod. Mark the tripod and axle shaft for reassembly. Remove the tripod joint snap-ring and drive the tripod joint from the CV boot. To check the components, clean them thoroughly and inspect them for wear. If the inner CV joint is worn, install a new one on the old axle shaft. If the outer CV joint is worn, purchase a new one and axle shaft. Check the condition of the bearing for the intermediate shaft. To reassemble, wrap the splines on the inner end of the axle shaft with tape, slide the clamps and boots onto the axle shaft, and place the tripod on the shaft. Apply grease to the tripod assembly and inside the housing, insert the tripod into the housing, and pack the remainder of the grease around the tripod. Slide the boots into place, adjust the CV boot to standard length specifications, equalize the pressure in the boot, and tighten the boot clamps.
