Nissan C9741-1JA0A Dust Boot Repair Kit Inner

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.

The boots should be inspected for any tears, cracks, or loose clamps, and for signs of leaking grease.
