Disassembly
- Do not disassemble the Birfield type CV joint.
- To lubricate CV joints, use only special grease.
- When assembling the CV joint, it is necessary to install new clamps.
1. Remove the clamps and pull off the protective cover from the ball joint of the drive shaft.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the protective cover.
2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the retaining ring.
3. Remove the ball joint from the drive shaft.
4. Remove the snap ring, take out the inner ring, housing and balls as an assembly.
5. Without disassembling, clean the inner ring, housing and balls.
6. Remove the clamps and pull off the protective boots of the ball CV joint and Birfield CV joint.
Warning!
If the boot is to be reused, wrap the drive shaft splines with tape before removing the boot to protect it.
Examination
1. Check the ball CV joint for signs of rust, damage to the outer ring, inner ring and balls.
2. Check the condition of the drive shaft splines.
3. Check the Birfield CV joint protective boot for any traces of rust, water or foreign objects.
Warning: If the Birfield CV joint is to be used repeatedly, do not remove the grease from it. Make sure the lubricant is free of any impurities.
If necessary, clean the Birfield CV joint and replace the grease in it.
Assembly
1. Before installing the boot, wrap the splines of the drive shaft on the ball joint side with adhesive tape to protect it.
2. Apply grease to the drive shaft and install the boot.
3. To install the dynamic damper, position the Birfield CV joint straight in relation to the shaft, position the damper at a certain distance and secure it with a clamp.
Damper installation distance (A)
- cars with 1.6 and 1.8 l engines with manual transmission: 467.5 (2/0) mm
- cars with 2.0 engines with manual transmission: 469 (2/0) mm
4. Apply grease to the inner ring and housing. Install the housing so that the offset on the rolling surface is located as shown in the figure.
Caution: Use the lubricant supplied with the repair kit.
5. Apply grease to the housing and balls located in the housing.
6. Install the hinge as shown in the figure and secure it with the snap ring.
7. Apply the required amount of grease to the outer ring and install it on the drive shaft.
8. Place the required amount of grease into the protective boot and install the boot onto the hinge.
9. Secure the ball-type protective cover with clamps.
10. Add as much Birfield grease to the CV joint as was wiped off during the joint inspection.
11. Install the covers.
12. Secure the Birfield CV joint protective cover with clamps.
13. To control the air pressure in the T.J. joint boot, maintain the required distance between the protective boot mounting clamps or the length of the drive shaft when tightening the clamps. The nominal length of the drive shafts is given in the table.
