This is a fairly simple job requiring only hand tools and is not very difficult to do. the kit I used was the doorman #932-201 it came with everything you need
Tools:
Jack & stands
8mm wrench
8mm socket and ratchet head
T27 torx bit
Pry bar
Hammer
External c clamp pliers
Band clamp pliers (depending on your kit)
Step 1:
Jack up the vehicle and secure it with the stands.
Step 2:
Loosen all 6 of the bolts of the propel shaft cv joint using the 8mm wrench and remove using 8mm socket (I used an extension to go over the cross member).
Step 3:
Remove the 4 front u joint bolts using the T27 torx bit.
Step 5:
Remove the cv joint from the receiver (you will have to give a few taps with the hammer and pry bar) once its free the drive shaft should fall out.
Step 6:
Remove the rear cap.
Step 7:
Remove the c clamp.
Step 8:
Cut off band clamp and remove cv unit from shaft.
Step 9:
Push on the new boot and secure it with band clamp.
Step 10:
Line up the holes with the dust shield wile lining up the splnes on the shaft pack the front of the bearing with grease (supplied in the kit ).
Step 11:
Install c clamp.
Step 12:
Pack the unit full of grease (supplied in the kit).
Step 13:
Install rear cap and gasket taping it firmly in place(the bolts will pull it together later).
Step 14:
Install drive shaft making sure that the cv joint is seated properly into the carrier (you will have to use the bolts to pull it together).
And finally:
Tighten up front u bolts (making everything is properly aligned).
If you have any questions please feel free to message me.
If you have something to add please feel free any input is appreciated.
