The wife and I were driving home today after lunch and was making a left turn when heard a loud pop and instantly no drive. Had power but it would not move. After jacking the car up, noticed the axle on the driver side came off, the bolts backed out. They didn't snap or strip, just backed out. I Uber home to get my truck and tools and was able tighten the bolts back up. However after pulling away, went to shift to 2nd and it grinded hard, shifted into 3rd OK, when to 4th and nothing, then tried 5th and nothing. So seems all I have is 1st, 3rd and Reverse.
Already PM Dr. Evil about a rebuild and possible and cost. Just a crap way to finish a good day. Just glad to get it home On a positive note a guy stopped to see if we were OK and said he used to have a 914 that he loved (up until he crashed it) |

Replace the schnorr washers under the head of the bolts. Then reassemble the CV joint, using a new gasket and a torque wrench to install the bolts. The torque spec is 31 ft/lbs. Make sure the bolts are clean when going into the flange. No grease on the threads.
If you use new schnorr washers and gaskets every time you disassemble the CV joints, and torque them correctly, they will not back out like you experienced. Safety wire is a good idea if you want to go to that trouble, but it is not necessary to keep the bolts from backing out. |
