Does anyone have a writeup on how to install a CV joint on the axle?
I'm uncertain of which goes first and in what direction. Here is a pic of the kit: (IMG:http://www.pmbperformance.com/i//CV_Joint_Kit.jpg) Thanks |

Yarin,
The ones I have done had the concave washer without the splines and the thick "C" retainer clip. Like Crusty said, concave washer cup facing toward the joint, slide the joint on - it may take a little light persuasion - on the inner race only - but not a press. You just need to get it back far enough to be able to get the retainer in the groove. Make sure that the retainer is fully seated in the groove by comparing the gap between the ends with an unexpanded one. What I do is then to very lightly tap the joint outward against the retainer to put a little bind on it. Since the joint is kinda free on the splines this may do no good but it makes me feel better. Make sure you get both boots on before the second joint is on or you get to take it apart again. Yep I managed to do that - once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Did you get the axle yet? |
