The flange for the CV boots that I bought came with 6 holes. Knowing that only 4 of these would be filled with bolts, I put a bead of gasket material to seal the grease in. This seems to have worked for one side, but the other is steadily coating the underside of my trunk with CV grease.
Any thoughts other than to clean it up and try again? Thanks |

Outer cage, that's the term.
There are two pins in the cage that extend into the tranny flange. However, these are flush with the cage on the other side. The CV boot has the metal flange that seats around the cage (I think that we have too many flanges in too small of a space, sorry about the confusion). This is the beast that had four holes in the original and six in the replacement. |
