more CV questions ... Options

[SirAndy]

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?

the later 911 tranny output flange was a bit harder to find, EASY only had one set.

Yeah I bought the other set a couple of months ago. I was told by a member he only paid $30 (ea or for a pair, not sure) and when I told John at EASY, he said that was before they knew they were "desirable". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Maybe it was because of the RGruppe group. Anyway, they made me feel $100 was a good deal...

I'm running mid-70's 911 shafts/CV's. I bought complete trailing arms with axles and CV's already set up for the 914 so maybe there are 951 parts too.

Hey Andy,

Were your flanges identical? I sold mine and the buyer found two descrepancies:
1 they are two different lenghts .250 different
2 the shaft dia is not correct after the spline

After I get them back I'll provide more details to inform the members. They are apparently from two different transaxles. Hopefully EASY will find a correct match

Thanks for an informative thread. I would like to purchase some used 914/911/944 axles. Could someone list a better reference to EASY and John? I cannot figure out who or what this is. Appreciate it.
