NOTE

When boot is properly installed, the zipper will be to

the front when on left wheel and to the rear when on

right wheel.

Turn boot (1) inside out so tab on zipper (2) is on the outside. Put boot

around axle (3) so small end is at steering knuckle (4).

Close zipper (2) all the way.

Using cement (part of kit), seal all along

zipper so it will not leak.

Hold boot (1) so the word TOP on boot is at highest point. Push boot onto

axle housing (5) so boot clamp groove goes into axle housing clamp groove.

Put clamp (6) onto boot (1) clamp groove. Using 11/32-inch wrench, hold

nut (7). Using screwdriver, tighten screw (8). Make sure clamp fits all

the way around.
