The component is fitted by lifting and supporting the vehicle before removal and installation. The next step is to take off the
Driveshaft, but it is essential not to lose track of the flange and shaft matching. In models with a double offset joint, a rag must be inserted in the joint to ensure that the shaft remains aligned and does not damage the boots. Next, use an appropriate tool to fasten the companion flange in place, remove the mounting nut and then remove the flange; some models may need to be used with a puller. Then remove the old seal and rub off the mounting surface. Apply oil to the lips of the new seal and fit it using the corresponding driver, and the flange and driveshaft should be fitted once again.
