ok, i got the 944 CV's off the shaft ...
i wanted to know if the wear was too bad so i took them apart. looking good! almost no wear (came off a 944 turbo) ... i cleaned them up thoroughly as i was told not to mix different kinds of CV grease and now the question is: how do i pack them with new grease? grease the parts first, then try to assemble or assemble dry and then pack the whole thing?

WARNING: LOTS OF PICTURES AHEAD ...
this is fun, just like the rubiks cube! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) start by lining up the inner and outer race, just so you remember how to put them together. see where the grooves on the outer race are closer together in pairs? the larger "nose" on the inner race has to point towards those ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998487.jpg) now slide the inner race into the cage and turn in to line up with the holes in the cage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998508.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998531.jpg) add two balls 180 deg. from each other (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998550.jpg) and slide that into the outer race (lying flat on the bench) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998574.jpg) lift up the inner race and cage just enough to add another ball (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998608.jpg) just do one ball at a time going around (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998641.jpg) until you got all 6 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998668.jpg) voila! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998691.jpg) moves just the way it's supposed to! but careful, it'll fall apart really easy as well ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998712.jpg) one thing, the 944 CV has a groove on one side which points to the outer side of the CV, away from the axle. also, the inner race has a flat side and a raised side, the flat side goes towards the outside. not sure if this is important, just something i noticed ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998732.jpg) inner (raised) side of the inner race (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1121998756.jpg) now all i need to do is pack it with grease!
