CAUTION:
Protect the seals from sharp tools and from the sharp edges of the surrounding components. Any damage to the seals or the clamps will result in leakage. Leakage will allow water to leak into the front axle shaft tripod joint and the front axle shaft constant velocity joint. Damage will also allow grease to leak out of the front axle shaft tripod joints and the front axle shaft constant velocity joints. Leakage may cause noisy front axle operation and eventual failure of the internal components.
