I think I remember my old auto shop teacher saying we could use any softer metal pin to make shear pics but I want to bounce it off of y'all before doing something stupid.
Unless someone has then in the East Bay Area, CA..... Then I'll be glad to buy 'em off of you. Yes, EASY is closed today. =-) Roger |

What's all this then? Group: Members Posts: 371 Joined: 26-May 04 From: Cheyenne, WY Member No.: 2,108 Region Association: Rocky Mountains

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the pins that locate the CV's to the companion flanges are not shear pins! A shear pin is designed to do exactly that - shear to save something else. An example would be the auger in a snowblower which is held to the shaft by a shear pin. If something like a rock or cat or your foot gets caught, the soft pin will shear thereby saving the cat. What the CV's have are roll pins which are pretty hard and designed to transfer torque. You may be able to source those at a good hardware store. Anyone know why the 914 CV's use the pins while the 911 style joints are all bolts?
