so while installing the motor and transmission yesterday- and it seemed to go so smooth, the cv and axle got out of position, the inner must have gotten bumped and twisted , so i was just now trying to get the one that fell out back in , but also noticed they if i spin the axle the outer one is kind of off center as well, so now i am wondering if i am going to have to pull the whole axle to get these put back in the cage and on the axle?? seems like i will have to pull the whole assembly, to get them circlip off and put it all back together properly—-
pandora’s box here - opening a can of worms- i have to put it on the ground to take off the outer axle nut, then pull the shaft right? looks like there is not enough room to pull it with He in and that will have to be pulled too! - can i leave the other side all hooked up? Advice please!! Phil |

Arent' those pretty deep grooves in the last pic you posted? @iankarr no palpable grooves, discoloration only. similar to the side where you see coloration change but you can’t feel where that color change happens. it’s deceiving in the pictures. i know it’s tempting to replace them hard to find parts for rebuilding them, ans these were brand new 6 years ago and less than 10k miles. I had new boots , with just the 4 holes not 6, so i used those for this CV, all cleaned up and replaced new grease. I removed the castle nut, and easily pushed the stub out and man that stub axle was really stuck on that CV, pulled it all apart cleaned up and put new seals on, bolted back together , and is now in the car and mounted up. Your video was helpful! thanks! tomorrow i will be finishing the safety wiring on the CV bolts, and maybe get the HE back on the car, hook up the FI and wiring harness , if all goes well, break in could be Thursday. Did you do a video on setting rear venting clearance? this left side rotor and pad drags just a bit, i think while this wheel is off i need to do that. |
