    2. Coat the snap ring of the inboard joint with MP grease.

    3. Align the splines and tap in the front drive shaft assembly LH with a brass bar and hammer.

      Note


      • Using MP grease, set the front drive shaft hole snap ring in the groove with the opening facing downwards and centered radially.

      • Do not damage the inboard joint boot, front drive shaft dust cover LH and differential side gear shaft oil seal.

      • Make sure to follow the proper handling and installation procedures. If the front drive shaft assembly LH is installed at too large an angle or slides too much, it may fall out of the groove of the tripod joint.

      • Do not tap the end of the front drive outboard joint assembly with a hammer, etc.

      Tech Tips
