2001 Chevrolet Astro Driveshaft

You need to place protective covers and the half shaft, cut through the swage ring, and seal down the half shaft bar. Then you need to find the half shaft bar retaining snap ring, discard the old constant velocity (CV) joint seal, remove the first chrome alloy ball, and tilt the CV Joint cage in the opposite direction. Then you need to lift out the cage and the inner race, rotate the inner race, and remove all old grease and any contaminates. After drying all the parts, you need to check the CV joint assembly, replace any damaged parts, and clean the half-shaft bar.

You need to prepare the J 9522-3 U joint bearing separator and the J 9522-5 U joint bearing spacer remover.
