Just when you get the thing running great... bam! CV joint comes off! Completely seperated from the trans output flange. I rolled it all the way home to just around the corner from my house. Shar helped me push it from there to the street in front of the driveway. Danny's due over in a few and together with help from my youngest son and Shar, we can get it up the driveway and onto the side of the house.
I got lucky in that the shaft just fell down on top of the HE and didn't do any damage. Pics later... |

Gint, just pull the flange. Its stoopid easy and will make things much easier, but you may need to drain your tranny a bit to keep the oil from leaking out depending on the level. 19mm socket, they are not torqued in too much.

Torque spec has been corrected in my earlier post. Fact is, the 914 Technical Specifications booklet only gives the number. My mistake there. It is 31 lb/ft. I wasn't so much looking for hep with this thread than I was just trying to point out to those that aren't aware how easily these things can come loose if they aren't installed properly. And you can never trust the PO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) There have been 914 owners that have incurred serious damage when a CV joint lets go. I got lucky. I just finished hanging the exterior shutters that I promised Shar I'd do months ago. *NOW* I can go work on the car. |
