Removal (Fig. 2)
1. Remove wheel, stub axle (31) and axle housing (28)
from the CV joint (15) and front suspension (see Front
Wheel Bearing Service Disassembly).
IMPORTANT:Make sure not to damage the oil seal
on the front differential with the screw drivers when
removing the CV joints.
2. Use two small pry bars (180� apart) to leverage the
CV joint out of the front differential. Use even pressure
on both pry bars (Fig. 10).
IMPORTANT:With damaged CV joints, there is the
possibility that the wheel bearings may be dam-
aged. It is recommended that the wheel bearings be
inspected when CV joints are repaired or replaced.
3. Inspect front wheel bearings (14) (see Front Wheel
Bearing Service Inspection).
Note: The inboard and outboard joint are similar in
construction and part make up.
Installation (Fig. 2)
1. If necessary, install a new circular clip onto the
splined (inboard) end of the CV joint. Grease with No. 2
general purpose lithium base grease (Fig. 9).
