Now that the boot on the wheel end has been pushed into place, the boot for the differential end needs to go on with the clip for the axle fitted to the boot. Don't forget to put the boot on the right way round.



This time the washer used for spreading the load is placed inside the boot







Don't forget to remove that washer
