• If crimp B exceeds the standard, decrease opening A of the SST and crimp the boot band again.

• If crimp B is less than the standard, increase opening A of the SST and crimp a new boot band.

4. Verify that the boot band does not protrude from the band assembly area.

• If the boot band protrudes from the assembly area, replace it with a new one and repeat Steps 1 to 3.

Dynamic Damper Assembly Note

1. Verify that the assembly position of the dynamic damper is within the standard.

amxuuw00004764

Standard

338.5—346.5 mm {13.33—13.64 in}

Boot (Differential Side) Assembly Note

Note

• The boot shapes on the wheel side and the differential side are different. Do not assemble the wrong boot by mistake.

1. Insert the shaft through the boot (differential side) with vinyl tape left wrapped around the spline area of the shaft.

2. Remove the vinyl tape wrapped around the spline of the shaft.

Tripod Joint, Snap Ring Assembly Note

1. Assemble the tripod joint with the shaft and tripod joint alignment marks aligned.

Caution

• When tapping the outer ring lightly using a hammer and urethane bar or equivalent, be careful not to scratch the roller area so as to prevent damage to the part.

Note

• If the tripod joint cannot be assembled to the shaft, lightly tap the tripod joint evenly using a hammer and urethane bar or equivalent, and assemble the tripod joint to the shaft.
