## for Preparation Click here

HINT:

1. Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
2. The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
3. A bolt without a torque specification is shown in the standard bolt chart (Click here).

1. INSTALL FRONT AXLE HUB DUST SEAL

1. Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap in a new dust seal.

   NOTICE:
     Do not damage the dust seal.

2. INSTALL FRONT DRIVE SHAFT DUST COVER

1. Using SST and a press, press in a new dust cover.

     09527-10011

3. INSTALL HOLE SNAP RING

1. Install a new snap ring.

4. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT BOOT

HINT:

  Before installing the boots, wrap the spline of the drive shaft with vinyl tape to prevent the boots from being damaged.

1. Temporarily install a new outboard joint boot (with 2 boot clamps) to the drive shaft.

1. Pack the inboard joint and boot with grease from a boot kit.

   Grease capacity:
     165 to 175 g (5.8 to 6.1 oz.)

5. INSTALL FRONT AXLE OUTBOARD JOINT BOOT CLAMP LH

1. Mount the drive shaft in a soft vise.

1. Secure the outboard joint large boot clamp onto the boot.

   1. Place SST onto the clamp.

      SST
        09521-24010

   2. Tighten SST so that the boot clamp is pinched.

      NOTICE:
        Do not overtighten SST.

   3. Using SST, adjust the clearance of the clamp.

      SST
        09240-00020

      Clearance:
        0.8 mm (0.031 in.) or less

1. For the outboard joint small boot clamp, use the same procedures described above.

6. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT BOOT

1. Install a new inboard joint boot to the outboard joint shaft.

7. INSTALL INBOARD JOINT

1. Align the matchmarks of the tripod and outboard joint.

   HINT:
     Place the beveled side of the tripod axial spline toward the outboard joint.

1. Using a brass bar and hammer, tap the tripod onto the outboard joint.

   NOTICE:
     Do not tap the rollers.

1. Pack the inboard joint and boot with grease from a boot kit.

   Grease capacity:
     165 to 175 g (5.8 to 6.1 oz.)

1. align the matchmarks of the inboard joint and outboard joint.

1. Install the inboard joint to the outboard joint.

1. Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring.

8. INSTALL FRONT AXLE INBOARD JOINT BOOT CLAMP

1. Using pliers, compress the large clamp and attach the claws.

1. Secure the boot clamp onto the boot.

   1. Place SST onto the clamp.

      SST
        09521-24010

   2. Tighten SST so that the boot clamp is pinched.

      NOTICE:
        Do not overtighten the SST.

1. Using SST, adjust the clearance of the small boot clamp.

   SST
     09240-00020

   Clearance:
     0.8 mm (0.031 in.) or less

9. INSPECT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY LH

1. *1:
   Check that there is no excessive play in the outboard joint.

1. *2:
   Check that the inboard joint slides smoothly in the thrust direction.

1. *3:
   Check that there is no excessive play in the radial direction of the inboard joint.

1. *4:
   Check the boots for damage.
