  Q: How to replace the front outer CV Boot and CV Joint on Chevrolet Aveo?

  A:

  Crossover joint assembly removal should occur before beginning front wheel drive shaft outer joint replacement and boot replacement. Swap the large seal retaining clip initially then get rid of the clamp before removing the small seal retaining clamp which should also be thrown out. You should clean the joint and remove all grease before you replace this one-piece outer joint unit as a whole. When the replacement procedure is performed incorrectly or the disassembly process is improperly carried out it creates serious vehicle performance faults or unsafe circumstances for personnel. Place the newly installed joint seal onto the Axle Shaft before proceeding with assembly. Add 110-130 grams (3.9-4.6 ounces) of recommended grease into the joint seal before redistributing the same amount back inside the joint. Use j 35566 (Seal Clamp Pliers) to crimp two new retaining clamps after installation of a large seal retaining clamp and a small seal retaining clamp. Position the cross groove joint seal assembly in its proper placement.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the CV Boot on Chevrolet Aveo?

  A:

  Service procedures for the constant velocity joint boot start with removing large and small seal retaining clamps and then discarding them before eliminating the small seal retaining clamp. Start by degassing the joint then use snap ring pliers (J 8059) to extract the shaft retaining ring. Carefully extract the Axle Shaft from the joint assembly but remember that the ball retainer maintains its stacked position because any attempt to service it would decrease vehicle performance and create safety risks. Finish the procedure by removing the joint assembly's seal. When installing start by placing an uncrimped new small seal retaining clamp on the seal before inserting the seal onto the Axle Shaft and joint assembly onto the Axle Shaft. Reinstall the shaft retaining ring through the use of snap ring pliers (J 8059) before adding 120 - 140 grams (4.2 - 4.9 ounces) of recommended grease both into the joint assembly and into the tripot. Start by mounting the new large seal retaining clamp onto the seal before crimping it with seal clamp pliers (J 35566). Finish by crimping the new small retaining clamp with the same tool (J 35566).
