Components on the outer constant velocity joint housing, replacingRemoving the outer ring, bearing race and inner ring of the outer constant velocity joint housing
Mark components in relation to each other. Use an electric scriber.
Removing the balls
Turn the inner ring and bearing race of the constant velocity joint housing. Remove the ball bearings clockwise one by one.

Place the ball bearings in order so that they can be reinstalled in the same positions.
Removing the bearing race and inner ring from the shaft
Turn the inner ring 90 degrees in relation to the bearing race. Remove the inner ring.
Cleaning the components on the outer constant velocity joint housing
Clean the components of the outer constant velocity joint housing thoroughly.
