While removing my engine to repair a head, the ball bearings fell out of one of my cv joints. The engine is back in, and I'v been trying to get these bearings back in the cv. I've cussed fussed and ate plenty of grease working under the car trying to get these things back in. What am I doing wrong. I went to the manual, and I understand the spacing is in groups of two, not equidistant, but I still can't get this back together. I did a search, and I apologize if this has been answered already. I am extremely frustrated right now.

I'm sorry, but if the balls "fell out" of your CV joints with the axle shafts in place, you are fucked. You need to find a replacement CV joint.
If the joints were never put together correctly, and if for some reason, you could put them back in and have them work, you must remove the CV joint from the axle shaft, clean up the CV joint, rotate the inner portion of the CV joint , insert balls, rotate inner portion of CV joint back, repack CV Joint and reinstall CV joint to axle shaft. Good luck. |
