Question 1

How to overhaul CV joints and CV boots effectively on Nissan Altima?

Accepted Answer

If the CV joints must be overhauled, one should consider all the options before it is started, as there are rebuilt drive axles available on exchange basis which proves to be cheaper and time effective. Car owners should first evaluate the cost and get hold of the prices of the exploitation parts before the process of the dismantling of the vehicle. First, to dismantle the inner CV joint one needs to take out the driveaxle and the boot clamps where the retainers tab are present. Withdraw the boot up to the inner CV joint, remove the retaining member and slide off the joint housing. To ensure proper reassembly of the tripod and axleshaft, use a center punch to mark these parts before disconnecting them, After doing this, you will have to remove the snap-ring that is fitted at the end of the axleshaft using snap-ring pliers. Mash the tripod joint from the driveaxle by hammer with brass punch, but be careful not to worsen the bearing surfaces or the splines. Wash all links with solvent to eliminate grease and, as a consequence, examine for wear. When disassembling the halves, install the clamps and boot to the axleshaft with the boot placed over the splines to aid in reassembly; thread the splines with tape to avoid damaging the boot. Position the tripod shape side next to the axleshaft, grease the tripod assembly, joint housing and boot and then screw on the housing and the retaining ring. Make sure the boot seats in the grooves all right, set the length of the joint in a proper way, balance the pressure inside the boot, and fix the boot clamp. Place a new circlip at the inner CV joint stub axle before bolting the driveaxle back in its place. For the outer CV joint, first remove the drive axle and boot clamps, wash out the old grease, check on the bearing surface and then fill the joint with the CV joint grease with the help of a wooden dowel. Place the small clamp and boot around the driveaxle, and spread grease to the inside of the axle boot Place-auto tape on the splined area. Last, place the new circlip about the groove at the end of the driveaxle and place the CV joint assembly at the bottom of driveaxle correctly aligning the splines seating the boot properly in its grooving and adjust the joint to the correct length as well.

Question 2

How to replace the CV Boot on Nissan Murano?

Accepted Answer

In case of overhauling of CV joints, normally needed because of the torn boots, all alternatives should be considered as rebuilt drive axles can be purchased on an exchange basis which would certainly prove more convenient. While some of these vehicles may be easy to disassemble others may prove difficult thus the need to check on the cost of the spare parts and their availability. When pulling apart the inner CV joint, one needs to take out the driveaxle, and the boot clamps, where the boot has to be pulled back, the retaining ring must be removed, and finally the joint housing slides off. Stake the tripod and axleshaft for reassembly, then cautiously remove the snap-ring from the axleshaft and knock out the tripod joint from the driveaxle using a hammer and a brass punch, in a way as not to mar the wearing surfaces. If a rubber dynamic balancer is mounted then put a mark on the location where it is to be removed. Shake all of the components with solvent for inspection of wear and tear. To reassemble the clamps and the boot to the axleshaft use a tape to cover the splines to avoid damaging the boot then insert the tripod and snap-ring and finally apply grease that should cover both the housing and the retaining ring. Change the length of the joint, balance the pressure within the boot, and fasten the boot clamps before using another new snap-ring, and the driveaxle. In the front outer CV joint, unscrew and unbolt the driveaxle and the boot clamps before pulling the outer CV joint with a slide hammer with bearings checked and stuffing the joint with grease. Finally, fit in the boot and snap ring, and locate the CV joint on the driveaxle before sliding it on gently to to engage well. For the rear outer CV joint, first the driveaxle should be un bolted and then put into a vise then remove the boot clamp and then using a slide hammer the CV joint can be pulled off. Remove the old grease, put some tapes on the splines and slip a new boot on, then install a new ring and shrink sleeved CV joint over the axel. Put fresh grease, slam the boot, modify its length, make the pressure on both sides same and then bolt the boot finally fixing the driveaxle assembly.
