Hey guys,
What size snap ring goes on the rear axles to keep them in the CV? When we were putting in Joe's engine this evening we realized (after the CVs were in place) that one of the axles were not attached (and probably had not been secured for all the time that he has been driving the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif) .) What size snap ring is required to secure the axle to the CV? And can he get it from FLAPS? Also, is a special CV grease required, or can generic CV grease from FLAPS work too? I don't know, I got my stuff from Pelican... He is going to need to repack the CVs (and hopefully he knows to inspect both of them... ) Zach |

We pack them with mobil 1 or any random recent synth grease on FWD drag cars and the inners last fine. |

I've done my CV's several times on the 911 due to issues with one of the boots getting torn open, and always used FLAPS grease.

so untill i remove the axle tonight, i cant seem to find the clip locallyand its a 1 dollar part, so i cant order it without spending more money on stuff i dont need right now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
best case: the clip is in the boot just waiting to be snapped back on. repack and go worst case : i need a good used stub axle (just like the one i just sold) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thanks again Zach for the help last night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Joe-
I can pull one of my non-moving (for a while at least) 914 and throw it in the mail. Definitely can get to it this weekend, maybe tomorrow/friday night. Not sure if that helps, let me know. -Chris |
