ATTENTION: The BJ type CV joint cannot be disassembled, except in cases of replacing the protective cover (supplied in the repair kit).
Before replacing the hinge boot, measure the distance (L) between the boot clamps; when installing new boot covers, this distance should be maintained to avoid premature wear of the boot covers.
Disassembly
Remove the drive shaft.
When replacing a hinge, it is necessary to determine its number, which is located on the cover or on the cover clamp.

Remove the snap ring. Wipe the grease off the CV joint components and use paint or chalk to make alignment marks on the drive shaft and inner race.
Secure the TJ rollers with tape, then remove the TJ inner race with the spherical rollers assembly.
