914World.com _ 914World Garage _ How to reassemble CV joint bearings?

Posted by: rezron Jun 28 2006, 09:25 PM

I'm thinking I saw a thread in the past but I can't find it now. While doing some cleanup on an inner CV joint the bearing cage and bearings came apart. What's the correct technique to reassemble? I can get it together but can't get it to pivot
correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Ron

The Haynes manual has a pretty good description on how to get them back together.

When I did mine it took me a couple of tries but it eventually went back together okay...

Thanks for the advice- I'll take a look at the Haynes manual.

Thanks for the help! It went together perfectly on the first try!
Have a good 4th!

If it worked first try, you might have not got it in correctly. A while back I remember I thought I had it first try but if the CV doesnt move up and down the shaft, then you dont have it fitted correctly.

ps. dont forget your MoS2 paste
