Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or drivetrain technician. Before servicing, ensure the driveshaft or connected equipment is fully de-energized and stationary, and follow all applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the joint and surrounding surfaces for wear or damage before seating the boot. Avoid overstretching the boot during installation, as distortion can compromise the seal and reduce service life.
