First, you need to cut through the swage ring, remove the large seal retaining clamp, dispose of the large seal retaining clamp, separate the half-shaft inboard seal from the trilobal tripot bushing at the large diameter, and slide the seal away from the joint along the half-shaft bar. Then, please remove the housing from the tripot joint spider and the half-shaft bar, remove and discard the trilobal tripot bushing from the housing, remove the spacer ring, the spider assembly, the spacer ring, the inboard boot, and discard both rings and the inboard boot. Finally, you should clean the half-shaft bar, the tripot balls, the needle rollers, and the housing, and remove all traces of old grease and any contaminants.
