Slip Joint Reassembly
- Apply grease evenly to both the female and male splines.
- Apply a small amount of grease by finger to the outer lips of the boot.
- Slide the boot (smaller diameter side) onto the spline yoke shaft being careful not to damage the spline coating or boot.
- Insert the spline yoke shaft spline into the tube assembly being careful to maintain proper phasing. The spider holes should be in line as originally marked prior to disassembly.
- Position boot onto tube and yoke shaft in its assembled position.
- Attach boot clamps and secure using pliers.
- Be sure clamp is properly seated and secure.
CAUTION:
Only use a similar type or same as the original type clamp. Using any other clamp may create an imbalanced shaft or lead to grease leakage.
