74 2.0 stock

I have assembled 4 cv joints previously and eah time I struggled with the puzzle then more or less got lucky..

Today I am assembling one more and close does not count and I am not getting lucky.. anyone know a tip or procedure.. It's like Rubik's Cube with more on the line..

Done!! Lucked out again!! It takes patience and a firm but relaxed coaxing w/ proper allighnment "big to small" (thanks the Cap'n for teaching me that).. once it starts going and then gets stuck, get joiggy with it.. Then throw your clothes away, cv joint cleaning w/ reassembly and repacking cost includes a shop towel, t-shirt and shorts, doctor gloves help a little..

ANdy thanks, but I just got it the minute you posted, funny thing is after reading thats how I got it or fairly close.. 180 deg. ball insertion to get as many in as I coudl to start then the last 2 I did one at a time.. toook you 5 minutes took me an hour maybe more with a good break in there too..
