Q: What's the installation procedure for the deflector ring?
A:
The installation procedure is to put the new deflector ring into position on the CV joint, put the 3-inch or 4-inch pipe coupling against the deflector ring, and put the 12 mm x 12 mm steel plate over the pipe. The half-shaft bar will protrude through the 28 mm hole in the steel plate, install the M24 x 2.0 nut on the half-shaft bar, remove the M24 x 2.0 nut, the 12 mm steel plate, and the 3-inch or 4-inch pipe coupling.
