Toyota 42360-14020 Rear Cv Joint Inboard

First, you can obtain split-type replacement boots for CV joints that can be installed without removing the drive axle but, it is important to remove the Axle Shaft and clean the CV joint. If lubricant leaks out, the CV joint will wear prematurely and need replacement. When replacing the CV Boot, the drive axles must be removed and the CV joints disassembled. The process varies for different models but generally involves cutting off retaining bands, removing spring clips or snap-rings, and disassembling the joint. Thoroughly cleaning and inspecting the CV joints before reassembly is crucial. The new boots should be installed with the specified amount of grease and clamps tightened. Finally, the drive axle can be reinstalled.
