Boot Assembly Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • The boot shapes on the wheel side and the differential side are different. Do not install the wrong boot by mistake.
  1. Fill the inside of the new dust boot (wheel side) with grease.
    CAUTION:
    • Do not touch the grease with your hand. Apply it from the tube to prevent foreign matter from entering the boot.

    Grease amount 

    L5 (AT): 100-120 g {3.53-4.23 oz.} 

    MZI-3.7: 110-130 g {3.89-4.58 oz.} 

  2. Install the boot with the drive shaft spline still wrapped with vinyl tape.
  3. Remove the vinyl tape.
