2. Install the axle shaft in a vise.
Internal CV joint
3. Cut off collars and shift a cover to the center of a half shaft. Mark the position of the hinge body (tee) and remove the housing from the pivot cross.
4. Remove the pivot cross by removing the circlips (to access the rings, move the hinge in both directions) (see photo).
5. Wrap the cross bearing with tape.
6. Remove the cross from the axle shaft.
7. Remove the cover.
8. Clean the housings, crosspiece. Remove and clean the cross bearings. Inspect the rollers, cross, bearings.
9. Place half of the grease in the CV joint housing supplied with the new boot, put the rest of the grease in the boot.
10. Put the cover on the axle, after wrapping the splines with tape (see photo).
11. Assemble the hinge, maintaining the distance indicated in the photo. Install the housing according to the marks made during disassembly. Insert the circlips into the grooves on the axle shaft. Straighten the cover and tighten the clamps.
Outer CV joint
12. Remove the cover fastening ring by tapping it with a hammer and a beard and displacing it without allowing it to deform (see photo).
13. Cut off the collars of the covers.
14. Remove retaining ring and outer hinge (see photo).
15. Remove the old cover.
16. Mark the orientation of the cage and pivot holder.
17. Disassemble the hinge in accordance with the photo.
18. Clean the parts and check their condition. The appearance of polished areas is allowed, which are traces of the normal operation of the hinge (see photo).
19. Install the inner guide into the cage in the reverse order of removal.
20. Install the inner guide with cage into the outer guide in the reverse order of removal. The marks that were previously applied to the inner rail and cage should be visible after assembly.
21. Install the balls in the cage (see photo).
22. Lubricate the joint through the internal spline. Distribute the grease so that it goes into the bearing by inserting a wooden drift into the spline and acting like a piston. Repeat the procedure until the bearing is completely lubricated (see photo).
23. Install the cover on the axle shaft. Put the grease into the cavity of the boot.
24. Install the assembled CV joint on the axle shaft, aligning the splines. Press the CV joint onto the retaining ring, which should fit into the groove of the hinge.
25. Fasten the cover with clamps, after tucking the edges of the cover into the grooves.
