CV Boot Replacement (1 Viewer)

[100kiwi]

I got the kit that covers inner and outer boots.
There are two types of grease, which grease goes to which joint?
Thanks

It was hard to figue out for me also, no info from Toyota. If I remember right, the clear tube goes in the outer and the two tubes go in the inner, squeeze one in, assemble the joint and squeeze the other in the boot, MAYBE. Its been a while and I'm old!! I do know that the Yota kit is the way tk go. I've used other boot kits on my T4R and Taco with poor longevity. Did the LC and T4R last season with the Yota ones, money well spent. Good luck.

This is not an answer, but I'd note that all three tubes in that kit have different Toyota part numbers (note the last three digits). Did you check the factory service manual for clues?

In the FSM all I see for both inner and outer is "pack the joint and boot with grease from a boot kit." 310 to 320 g (11.0 to 11.2 oz.) for the outer, 314 to 324 g (11.1 to 11.4 oz.) for the inner. No indication of which grease goes where.

I also looked up those numbers in the parts system but they didn't come up, probably because they are considered component level of the kit.

Perhaps @Taco2Cruiser or maybe @sleeoffroad has experience here?

This is from a Tacoma service manual:

5. ASSEMBLE BOOT TO OUTBOARD JOINT Before assembling the boot, pack the outboard joint and boot
with grease in the boot kit.
Grease capacity: (Color = Black)
215 - 235 g (7.58 - 8.29 oz.)
6. ASSEMBLE BOOT AND INBOARD JOINT TULIP
(a) Pack the inboard joint and boot with grease in the boot kit.
Grease capacity: (Color = Yellow ocher)
230 - 250 g (8.11 - 8.82 oz.)
(b) Align the matchmarks placed before removal, install the
inboard joint tulip to the drive shaft.
(c)
7.
Temporarily install the boot to the inboard joint tulip.
ASSEMBLE BOOT CLAMPS TO BOTH BOOTS
(a) Make sure that the boots are in the shaft groove.

Thanks all for the input, the two white tubes are the same grease which is almost black in colour.
The capacities are similar to what @Sandroad is saying, and would make sense to have more grease in the inner joint.

Here are the items that I got in the kit I bought from Toyota:

Looks like they are all shell stamina grease 0578 in different quantities...

Looks like your part may be the new superceeded version 93 (vs 92).

This is how this guy uses each grease.

 

[CharlieS]

I am super encouraged by the skill of this tech as he proceeds to beat the tar out of the inner cv bearings with a ball peen hammer. Bravo!

All 3 tubes contain Shell Stamina Grease 0578 (new name aka) Shell Gadus S3 T100 2 as it is printed on top of each label. The other main and center # looks like the kit part #'s.

The 3 tubes of Raremax grease in the op's kit is also a Urea base grease.

Is that a good thing or bad?

Having the same base and thickener is a good. Mixing them can can be bad and cause one or both of the old or new grease to separate and not protect the parts in the bearing from friction, corrosion in the applied application. The rule is not to mix grease unless you know they are compatible as per mfg specs. So in this case of CV grease kits with different part numbers it would be good to find know the the base and thickener, Polyurea. Not clay or lithium soap. I do not know why some kits are using a different color/m# if viscosity was the same but in this case mixing or installing the dark grease in the outer CV instead of the inner...or was it the other way around is not going to cause a problem with separation.

So urea/clay/lithium soap all could include things like moly and/or perform to Toyota’s standards adequately? No real advantage of one over the other as long as they aren’t mixed?

 

[4gotalot]

In this application of a Toyota CV grease in a kit from what looks like a label from Toyota has the mfg name model and part # for the grease. Both kits use a urea grease as per their model and part # and the other ingredients added are an unknown.

 

[Killacaviar]

Just did this... the clear bottle goes on in the inner boot (Diff side).

What's the P/N for this kit?

I have the same reboot kit which I bought from a Toyota Dealer. if anyone in Seattle area wants it, feel free to contact me, free of charge.
