Each joint housing has been cleaned to this level for thorough inspection.

Make sure to place each roller back to its original position with original orientation in the joint.

So, something looked like this is now overhauled to this level.



Applied silicone spray at the spline, rubber boot and wheel speed trigger teeth to prevent the joint from corrosion and the boot from cracking.

    Hi Kaz. Looking at the manual regarding fitting the CV boot bands, is there a specific method for applying the required tension? I know you can buy band tools that a torque wrench fits, to apply specific tension but i cant see a torque setting in the manual.
    Secondly the new Honda boot kit comes with bands that do not have locking tabs, I presume these are just pulled through the hoop to the right tension, folded back on itself 180 degrees and the loop crimped lightly to lock it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, NSXGB.

    Ignore the service manual because the new boot band is a different spec.

    You need to use the double loop method with commonly available boot band tool.

    As I can't attach any extra file to this post, please visit the following link and at the top, you will find the revised TSB 98-018 that will explain the exact procedure.

    Thanks Kaz, glad I asked as I would only have wrapped the band once...
