Nissan 39741-05U87 Inner Dust Boot Repair Kit

After disassembly, inspect the outer CV joint by rotating it to expose the bearings, inner race, and cage. Inspect the bearing surfaces for signs of wear. If any wear is detected, it's advisable to replace the joint. For reassembly: Slide the new outer boot and small clamp onto the drive axle. Wrap vinyl tape around the shaft splines to safeguard the boot. Remove the tape. Install a new inner race retainer ring on the shaft. Pack the CV joint with approximately 5 ounces (140 g) of CV joint grease, forcing the grease in with a wooden dowel. If the specified grease quantity can't be packed in, place the remainder in the CV joint boot. Tap the outer CV joint into place using a hammer and woodblock. Slide the boot into position, add the remaining grease to the CV joint boot, adjust the boot's length, equalize the pressure inside, and install the new clamps. Finally, reinstall the drive axle.
