Dust Boot Installation Note

  1. Fill the inside of the new dust boot with grease.
  2. Press the dust boot on using a 1.18" (30 mm) socket until the dust boot contacts the seat.
    CAUTION: Install the dust boot squarely and do not press excessively. The inner metal ring will be deformed if not done correctly.
  3. Verify that the clearance between the boot and the seat is less than 0.04" (1 mm).
