EBJ BOOT REPLACEMENT

1.Remove the boot band (large) and (small). note Boot band cannot be reused. 2.Remove the boot. 3.Apply a tape to the shaft spline area, and then incorporate the boot band and boot.

4.Install the boot, aligning with the centre groove on the boot small diameter.

5.Turn the adjusting bolt of the boot band clipping tool (Special tool: MB991561) to adjust the opening dimension (W) to the standard value. Standard value (W): 2.9 mm <Over 2.9 mm> Tighten the adjusting bolt. <Below 2.9 mm> Loosen the adjusting bolt. note The adjusting bolt changes W approximately 0.7 mm for each rotation. Do not rotate the adjusting bolt more than one rotation.

6.Roughly position the boot band (small) at the centre so that there are clearance at both ends (A and B). caution Fix the driveshaft in an upright position, and pinch the crimping area of the boot band securely between the jaws of the special tool. Be sure to compress the boot band until the special tool touches the stopper.

7.Using the special tool to crimp the boot band (small).

8.Check that the crimping value of the boot band (C) is equal to the standard value. Standard value (C): 2.4 to 2.8 mm <When the crimping value is over 2.8 mm> Readjust W in step 5 according to the following expression, and then perform the operation in step 7 again. W = 5.5 - C (Example: W = 2.6 for C = 2.9) <When the crimping value is below 2.4 mm> Remove the boot band, readjust W in step 5 according to the following expression, and then perform the operations in steps 6 and 7 again using a new boot band. W = 5.5 - C (Example: W = 3.2 for C = 2.3) 9.Check that the boot band is seated within the installation area. If it is not seated within the area, remove the band and use a new band to perform the operations shown in steps from 6 to 8. caution The special grease is used for the joint: Do not mix old and new grease, or grease in different types. 10.Fill the boot with the specified amount of specified grease. Specified grease: Repair kit grease Amount used: Refer to .

11.Align the centre groove on the resin boot large diameter with the shaft groove. 12.As shown in step 5, using the special tool (MB991561), adjust the opening dimension (W) to the standard value. Standard value (W): 3.2 mm

13.Roughly position the boot band (large) at the centre so that there are clearance at both ends (D and E). 14.As shown in step 7, use the special tool to crimp the boot band (large).

15.Check that the crimping value of the boot band (F) is equal to the standard value. Standard value (C): 2.4 to 2.8 mm <When the crimping value is over 2.8 mm> Readjust W in step 12 according to the following expression, and then perform the operation in step 14 again. W = 5.8 - F (Example: W = 2.9 for F = 2.9) <When the crimping value is below 2.4 mm> Remove the boot band, readjust W in step 12 according to the following expression, and then perform the operations in steps 13 and 14 again using a new boot band. W = 5.8 - F (Example: W = 3.5 for F = 2.3) 16.Check that the boot band is seated within the installation area. If it is not seated within the area, remove the band and use a new band to perform the operations shown in steps from 13 to 15.
