I had to remove the rear drivers side trailing arm and thought "while I was in there" I would repack the outer CV Joint. Took it completely apart and cleaned the balls and cage and removed most of the old grease and now I cannot get it back together? What is the trick? Of course I did not mark it to ensure it is assembled the same as it was before - am I screwed? I seem to get it on cock eyed before it goes no farther, then one or more of the ball bearings fall out - help!
This is one dirty job!! |

it's hard to explain, but you need to get two of the opposite balls into both the inner and outer races...then it kind of pivots into position after much fiddling. Do a search here, and don't assemble it the wrong way...
