INSTALLATION

NOTE: Halfshaft inner and outer boots are not serviceable separately. Boot replacement requires entire
shaft assembly replacement.

CAUTION: Unequal-length halfshafts are used. The left halfshaft is shorter than the right, and it is necessary
to identify and tag halfshafts upon removal to ensure proper installation.

CAUTION: Never grasp halfshaft assembly by the inner or outer boots. Doing so may cause the boot to
pucker or crease, reducing the service life of the boot and joint. Avoid over angulating or stroking the C/V
joints when handling the halfshaft.

1. Install new axle seal(s) (1) using Tool 9223 (2).
