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... |

Yep, Schnorr washers are one time use as they are only $.30 each from me and others (cheap insurance). Most 914s that I have been under had at least one bolt that I could lossen with my fingers, many had multiple. Every driving season one of these threads comes up and I try to make sure to mention that at the very least people need to check their bolts and remove and replace the washers should they find any loose. As for the safety wire bolts, I sell piece of mind at a cheap price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I only make the bolts because I was getting worried about all of these threads with the CVs comming off. Easy fix for those that want to do it this way.
I am glad that nothing major happend to your ride, Gint. For those interested, I just made up a new batch, and I have some output flanges should you find yours to be messed up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
