I wouldn't worry too much, there's nowhere for the race to go really once all connected. So long as it's not broken to begin with. Use the best one of the 2 that you have!

This is the one for pot joints:
Then the boot goes on, a zip tie on the INSIDE of the pot boot, then pop on the race which should click in, make sure all the balls are in place and slide into the pot, boot over the pot and tie over the pot. Don't forget grease!

TRICK: If you pile on LMM grease onto the race, you can sort of "glue" the balls into race long enough to slip the race into the pot. Trust me, this is useful esp when going it in situ under the car by yourself in the dark! (Been there, done that!)


Thanks Lillee after reading this again i think i have my head around it , i puchased the boots and a few other things from Karcraft ....... so the boot sits in the groove just under the cage " gets cable tied on the inside" then goes over the bearing cage and over the pot joint on the motor ?.

Hopefully thats right which means i cant do it till i put the motor back in and do that slide in the driveshaft one side then the other.

Cheers Bill

You got it! The boot pretty must should look the way it is sitting now in the above picture over the pot. The driveshaft sticks out of the smaller hole in the center. Since the ruber sort of does a U turn on itself, the only way to secure the boot onto the driveshaft is to tie it on the inside first, around the driveshaft. Then the outer part goes over the pot.

Best way to do it is to do all of this on a bench where it's nice and clean, then slipping the hole pot back into the diff.

Good luck!
