After much time and expense I've thrown in the towel on rebuilding these high mileage units. Started with 4 axles and got it down to two what I thought serviceable units, actually they were what was left after inspecting the others. Trying today to assemble them has not produced anything except frustration. Watched Van Swenson U Tube posting on the subject and thought it possible. CV's cleaned and rebuilt properly and assembled on the axle. No amount of effort along with a large amount of foul language will get the C clip to stay within the groove. Arghhhhh !!!!! Tried it on two CV's with different components and the same result. Given up. So...................are there suppliers of finished 914 Axles with CJ Joints out there ??

I bought an OEM set from Jim Ellis in March. $280 per axle plus shipping and tax. Also got the correct schnorr washers and set of new CV bolts from them. They came greased and ready to go. Installed them last weekend; I can confirm that they are machined for the gasket, and they bolted right up.
Funny note- as I live in Atlanta, I happened to be in Jim Ellis recently to pick something up for the 911. Had a chance to chat with the parts manager there, who is a really good guy. He remembered my 914 axles coming through and expressed his surprised when he saw them... he was surprised himself that the parts were available again. |
