Heyo. I'm installing new PMB CV joints and wondered if there is a special trick to seat/compress the inner spring washer enough to get the evil clip to seat on the shaft. I even resorted to using my old inner washer as it was a bit more flattened than the new ones I got with the CV kit. I've moved well past a brass drift and still can't seem to drive it on enough to get it to seat. Using a drift on the clip to drive the assembly on just makes the clip curl and pop off.
Cut/fab a tube to fit over the dia. of the shaft and beat on that? The kit comes with snap ring clips as well (which are slightly thinner and do fit), but I believe that the hardware kit is universal with 911 driveshafts and those are specific to those. Thanks for any tips. |
