^ Do not disassemble the birfield joint assembly.
^ The driveshaft joint uses special grease. Do not substitute with another type of grease. The boot band should be replaced with a new one.





1. Loosen the tripod joint boot bands and pull the tripod joint boot from the tripod joint case.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the boot.

2. Separate the tripod joint boot from the tripod joint case.





3. Remove the snap ring and spider assembly from the driveshaft.
4. Clean the spider assembly.





5. Remove the birfield joint boot bands and pull out the birfield joint boot.





NOTE: If the boot is to be reused, wrap tape around the driveshaft splines to protect the boot.





6. Remove the dust cover from the birfield joint assembly using the special tool(O9495-33000) or a proper one.

INSPECTION
1. Check the driveshaft splice part for wear or damage.
2. Check for entry of water or foreign materials into birfield joint
3. Check the spider assembly for roller rotation, wear or corrosion.
4. Check the groove inside tripod joint case for wear or corrosion.
5. Check the dynamic damper for damage or cracking.

REASSEMBLY

NOTE: Clean the disassembled parts with solvent, and dry them thoroughly with compressed air. Do not wash the rubber parts with solvent.





1. Wrap the spline (tripod joint side) with vinyl tape to prevent damage to the dynamic damper and boots.
