To remove the inner CV joint, start by removing the CV axle and mounting it in a vise with wood-lined jaws to prevent damage. Check the CV joints for excessive play and smooth operation. If a boot is torn, disassemble the joint, clean the components, and inspect for damage. If the CV joint is in good condition, lubricate it with CV joint grease and install a new boot. To disassemble, cut the boot clamps and remove the boot, exposing the tri-pot spider assembly. Remove the snap-ring and mark the tri-pot to the axleshaft. Use a hammer and brass drift to drive the spider assembly from the axleshaft and slide off the boot. Thoroughly clean all components and inspect for wear. Reassemble by wrapping the splines with tape, sliding on the boot and clamps, and tapping the spider assembly onto the shaft. Apply grease and insert the tri-pot into the housing. Slide the boot into place, ensuring proper seating, and secure with clamps. For outer CV joint removal, cut the boot clamps and slide the boot away. Make a reference mark and measure the distance to the inner bearing race. Spread apart the snap-ring and slide off the CV joint. Clean and inspect all components. Reassemble by sliding on a new sealing boot clamp and boot, placing a new bearing retainer clip, packing the CV joint with grease, and driving it onto the axleshaft. Ensure proper seating and equalize the pressure in the boot. Secure with clamps and reinstall the CV axle.
