1. Remove snap ring, then the Double Offset Joint (DOJ) inner race, cage and balls as an assembly and clean this assembly. If balls drop out of cage, press them back into inner race.
2. Wipe grease off spline portion.
3. Remove DOJ boot and Ball Joint (BJ) boot. If boots can be reused, wrap vinyl tape around driveshaft spline so boots are not damaged as they are removed. Do not disassemble BJ.
