ok, i got the 944 CV's off the shaft ...

i wanted to know if the wear was too bad so i took them apart.
looking good! almost no wear (came off a 944 turbo) ...

i cleaned them up thoroughly as i was told not to mix different kinds of CV grease and now the question is:

how do i pack them with new grease?
grease the parts first, then try to assemble or assemble dry and then pack the whole thing?

Why are you doing this? Were your old CV's cr@p or is there some kind of upgrade going on here?

both ...

i have had one bad axle ever since i got the car. lots-a-play. clonk clonk clonk ...
that, and my desire to have *real* 5 lug in the rear and not just redrilled hubs and the fact the bradhole lost my 914-6 stubaxles made me look for alternatives.

i used clay's shopping list and assembeled all parts needed (from tranny to wheel)

- late '70s 911 drive flange that will fit the 901 but have the larger 6-bolt 911 flange
- 944 turbo CV, will fit the flange
- 914 axle, will fit the CV
- 944 turbo CV, will fit the axle
- 944 turbo stub axle, will fit the CV
- early 911 hubs (pre ~'73) fit the 914 wheel bearing and will fit the stub axle

this will give you *real* 5-lug at the hub as well as bigger/stronger CVs and the assembly has the correct length (unlike early 911 axels) ...

NOTE: in my search for parts, i came across a set of 914 axles that had a different spline!
john at EASY wasn't sure if they were aftermarket or 914-6, but the standard 914-4 axle has 32 splines (so has the 944 turbo) and said pair had only 24 splines and thus didn't fit.
so watch out for the correct splines (count 'em)
