A while back I bought the modified type 1 CV's. Just getting to think
about installing. Look at the pic where the outside is machined down. (This is not the modification for 914, this picture is from online of normal type1 CV.)  I can't really show it with a picture, but the flange is built to the larger diameter, so it doesn't match with the machined area. This seems stupid. I guess when bolted down it should still retain the grease, but why is it like this? |

put the gasket on the boot side and sealant on the stub axle side.
The modification is so the CV will fit snug in the stub axle...not the boot. Also, pick up some paint gun cleaning brushes....small wire brushes...and super clean the threads with the brushes, cloths, brakclean...get them all metal, then use locktite on the threads. Rich |

I have never had one loosen as long as a new Schnorr washer was used
and most of the grease kept out of the holes. QUOTE(McMark @ Feb 21 2011, 10:23 PM) QUOTE(r_towle @ Feb 21 2011, 02:34 PM) l, then use locktite on the threads. Rich ACK! No thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

Another similar thread made me look at the pic Chris has at
Tangerine Racing, where he also sells the modified Type I's.  He adds an o-ring so the flange is tight at the sides. |
