Note: The BJ type CV joint cannot be disassembled, except in cases of replacing the protective cover (supplied in a repair kit).
Before replacing the hinge boot, measure the distance (L) between the boot clamps; when installing new boot covers, this distance should be maintained to avoid premature wear of the boot covers.
Disassembly
Remove the drive shaft.
When replacing a hinge, it is necessary to determine its number, which is located on the cover or on the cover clamp.
Remove the CV joint housing (TJ).
Remove the retaining ring. Remove grease from the CV joint components and use paint or chalk to make alignment marks on the drive shaft and inner race.
Secure the hinge rollers with adhesive tape, then remove the inner joint clip (T. J.] with the spherical roller assemblies.
Remove the clamp securing the protective cover of the CV joint drive shaft.
Remove the CV joint (TJ) boot and protective cover.
Remove the dynamic damper (if equipped).
Remove the CV joint (BJ) assembly.
Remove the small and large CV joint boot clamps.
Remove the protective cover of the CV joint. If the cover is to be reinstalled, wrap the shaft splines with adhesive tape before removing the cover.
Wash all hinge parts with solvent until the old hinge grease is completely removed.
Check all hinge parts for wear and damage.
Assembly
Wrap the drive shaft splines with tape and slide the new boot onto the drive shaft. Remove the adhesive tape.
Install the inner CV joint race (TJ) with the rollers assembled, while the previously applied marks on the joint and shaft must be aligned.
Install the retaining ring.
If the rollers were removed from the inner race, apply a layer of grease to the roller bearings and install the rollers on the inner race axle.
Apply half the required amount of grease into the inner joint housing on the inner race. When installing the hinge housing, check that the alignment marks made when removing the housing match.
Install the protective cover and secure it with clamps.
Install a dynamic damper (if equipped).
Install the drive shaft.
