Quick question, as I cleaned and assembled the joint I noticed that some of the cages had a small 'lip' on one side whereas other cages did not. So I have two questions.
1. Why is there a lip? 2. Does it matter what side the lip is on i.e. facing the end of the axle or facing the the other way. |

Stephen,
I have heard that when you remove the hubs, you can damage the bearings? Is this true? Hate to see you get this all back together only to find you need to undo it to replace the bearings. Tom |

Hate to see you get this all back together only to find you need to undo it to replace the bearings. Tom Tom, My mistake, it was the 'drive flange' that I pulled/tapped out of the hub. I confuse terms every now and again. If I were actually going to pull the hub it would be to replace the bearings. When I do a complete resto and take her all the way down I will replace the bearings then. Right now, just servicing CV joints. |

Stephen,
I'm a bit late, but I'm glad you cracked that nut. I just went throught the same pain. The right site worked out well within a couple of hours but the right side was a real Schlampe. Anyway, I ended up using my Dremmel and cut that nut of the stub - what a PITA! Next step is rebuilding the CV joints tomorrow. Servus und viel Spass in Deutschland! Dragan |

I may have said it already, but assembling anything but new is a time bomb and you lit the fuse.
115 in Texas, but they don't have the chamfer out of the main spindle toothed shaft, they just cut it shorter, so the USA - TEXAS ones are EASY to use a new snap ring to get the circlips on that come with the kit. Getting the old spindle off the axle is the buster. Cone washer was brainless. Did 2 inner Axle side CV's in less than 2 hours. Make sue they are loose when greased. Someone here did a pic story.

In the interest of getting as much info as possible into the World "cloud" I found a good article on CV maintenance that seems appropriate to those interested in this thread.
