Main thing to keep in mind on this. Make sure you mark the location of the crimp on the clamp, prior to removing the old boot band. Other wise you will put the shaft out of balance. when you install the new band you want the crimp location to line up as close to the mark as possible. this will help maintain as much balance on the shaft as possible. it is also a good idea to put a couple of marks on the shaft and the pinions so the shaft goes back in as close as possible to it's original location. Vibrations suck and having that band cause issues is irritating. Speaking from past experience with other jeeps.

Thanks for sharing! I had a shop tell me the front shaft needed replaced because it was "throwing grease" (they said). For one thing I don't know how they discovered it "throwing grease" because at the time they supposedly discovered it the motor was out of it. I told them not to replace the entire shaft, replace the boot or whatever seal is failing allowing the grease to leak. They replaced the entire shaft anyway. 4WD never worked in the truck since I had it due to an electrical issue. This proves I was right that the seal and boot could have been replaced. The shaft doesn't have grease in it nor does it have a seal either. The CV joint does. So even if it was "throwing grease" replacing the shaft didn't fix the problem. It definitely didn't fix the electrical issue I had it in for to be investigated. Going to court!!!! I hope you don't mind I might be using this video as evidence to prove their story is false that the entire shaft needed replaced.

CV joints usually last long time unless the boot rips and grease gets spun out, its always good idea to inspect the whole underneath with flashlight every few months, lots of moving parts in SUV/trucks. I am still on the lifetime powertrain warranty with 2008 Jeep and guess I will get a new $500 front shaft being they are not OEM serviceable.

Great video. Very clear and informative instructions. TBH, I think the replacement should have come with two gaskets, but the Dorman one I picked up also only came with one gasket so I guess it's 'correct'. Did yours sling grease everywhere after running it for a while? Not for nothin'... but I think the gasket is supposed to go on the transfer case side. The side with the end cap, not the side with the rubber sleeve. The stock one on my truck came with the gasket in the little groove in the bearing case on the transfer case side and no gasket on the smooth front diff side. No clue how the side without the gasket doesn't spray grease everywhere over time though. The diff side of the bearing case is smooth, so maybe clamping force from the bolts & the crescent shaped braces that go between the bolts?

This will fail again sooner than spec. Tip: bearings "always" need to be "packed", not just surface. Grease in palm. Then roll bearing across palm of grease until grease comes out the back side of bearing.
@ScamsGarage6 жыл бұрын
If the grease is not packed in a ball or tapered bearing like you described you are correct it will fail early, because they have very high speed potential metal to metal contact points due to rotating and static members of the bearing. However being a CV joint this is not the same as an actual bearing that rotates on a race like a wheel bearing or similar. With a CV joint it simply moves the balls back and forth over the inner race slowly as it drive shaft rotates their are not any high speed metal to metal contact points like in a wheel bearing. Everything rotates together and the balls only move over the race a fraction of a inch as it spins, it doesn't have a fixed inner or outer race. This is why we use the tip of the grease tube to push grease into the joint from both sides. Then as soon as you move the joint back and forth the grease is worked into the joint.
@tonydematteis50296 жыл бұрын
I certainly cannot claim to be any kind of expert regarding these kinds of bearings. But every video I've watched on these and the MOP from Teraflex instructs to grease the bearing the save as a tapered roller bearing. I hope you don't have any issues with yours. Best

If your Jeep is lifted, use the Teraflex rezeppa high angle CV joint. It’ll last much longer than the stock replacement. The boot side is a bit larger and flared. It installs the same way as this video except for the mounting bolts are either hex or torx (can’t remember) to accommodate the larger boot flange. The 3.5” lift on my JK was the death sentence for the stock CV joint. Good video.

The side that goes to the yoke of the transfer case if sandwiched between two solid flat metal surfaces that will keep it flat and straight and not leak. The other side has the bolt heads and straps that can allow the metal cover to warp so it would be more prone to leaks.

@ScamsGarage6 жыл бұрын
You are correct our original parts also did not have a gasket. I believe they included it to protect against irregular parts that may not be flat or get warped during installation. I would just keep a eye on it for leaks as the grease heats up. As for the hose clamp I would not recommend using one, I would us the correct clamps. A Hose clamp has more edges that can cut into the rubber, and you can over tighten the clamp easily; both can cause issues as the rubber ages. I would just keep a eye on it and see how it goes.

You could have cleaned up the shaft a bit with a wire brush or at least a rag and you wouldn't have had such a hard time getting the new boot on
@ScamsGarage6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Adam. We actually did clean the shaft with a wire brush and parts cleaner prior to assembly. The boot doesn't like to go over the splines on the shaft, because the splines are larger in diameter than the final resting spot of the boot. And the boot is also made smaller than the shaft diameter to make it secure and not bunch up when clamped. A few things that would make it a bit easier is some lubricant or warming the boot prior to installation so it would flex more. However it isn't that hard to get the boot on without this as long as you are careful.
