IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! When the output shaft is removed from the wheel bearing, the tripod (2) can be pulled out of the joint housing (1) and fall into the rubber gaiter (3). In this event, it will be necessary to install a new output shaft because the tripod (2) can jam or a roller of the tripod (2) can slip off the moulding. The roller would then be located in the gaiter (3) or bellows and result in rapid failure.
