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.

John Larson, The Cap'n is tha man. He's a very nice guy too, not at all crusty. He helped me with my balls:-). I dropped by his shop today, and he was showing some young kid how to work on his BMW. Then he showed this old kid how to re-assemble cv joints. (there is a trick) He had a box of bad ones to demonstrate on, and he let me take one home to practice. He also told me how to remove the cv joints without removing the axle. Just remove the circlip and tap the cv joint out. I did that, cleaned and reassembled with the bearings. And put them back on the axle. I just finished. I will pack them tomorow, and continue with my engine install. What does everyone recomend for packing grease?
Bee Jay Mike Z, thanks for the offer. Do you change your signature picture daily? I really liked the dancer. |
