DIY CV and Swivel Hub Rebuild Thread

[MudRunnerTD]

So time to pack teh CV with Grease. I use Hi Temp Extreme grease here but i am impressed with the LM Grease that NissanNewby was using for Healy's car.



Get Dirty! Get that Grease in there!





Time to put this sucker In!! What out for that inner axle seal that you fitted earlier! this is the most critical stage! try not to place all the weight of the axle and CV onto the bottom of that seal or you may wreck it. DO NOT sit the axle on it and slide it in! this will certainly wreck the seal and you will be stripping it out again next week end.

The CV does Not ned to be coated on the outside with Grease as it is floating in Air and needs No Lubrication. Do Not pack grease into the inner swivel Hub. It is Not required.





The Long side is harder to refit than the short side due to shear weight of the length of inner axle.



Gentle push down to lift the other end of the axle into the Diff Centre. slight turns. Gentle Gentle Gentle.





and we are IN







Next is the Brass washer. Note that the taper goes to the CV. Very important. get it wrong and you wont know until the final moment when it all wont fit and you strip back to here again!
