driveshaft removal or when servicing CV
joints. Driveshaft components are
precision parts.
S Cleanliness and following these
instructions is very important to ensure
proper shaft function and a normal
service life.
S The complete driveshaft and joint should
be handled by getting hold of the
interconnecting shaft to avoid
disassembly or potential damage to the
driveshaft joints.
S Over-angling of joints beyond their
capacity could result in boot or joint
damage.
S Make sure surface-ground areas and
splines of shaft are protected during
handling to avoid damage.
S Do not allow boots to come into contact
with sharp edges or hot engine and
exhaust components.
S Thedriveshaftis not tobeusedasalever

that the proper amount and type of
grease is used to refill when joint boots
are replaced and when joints are
cleaned. Refer to text for grease
