I replaced my CV shafts and joints a few years ago(thanks Chris Foley) but realized that the inner flange that the bolts go thru to attach to transmission have 6 holes not 4, so I had grease flying out of those extra holes. Well, now that the bottom of my car has been cleaned up and repainted I really don't want to be making that mess.
so my question is, would it be better to pull the CV and replace the flange with proper 4 hole ones( I bought NOS ones from 914sixer a few months ago), or just plug these holes somehow? This needs to be done before I put the motor back in the car and bolt up those CV's again this weekend. Thanks, Dr. Phil |
