CV BOOT

[thomas g. warner]

Which kind of boot do you have, super boot or originals? Super boots
require a torque wrench to install them at the correct tension of the bands.
You also need to check that the bands will fit the grooves on the outer race
of the CV joint.

The service manual says 65inlbs. That's what I did, but haven't driven
the coach yet. Soon tho' - finally got the last of the air out of the
brakes and got the cotton pickin' combination valve to reset(was about
ready to cut the wire).
