HELP....CV's repacked but seized
Wag67 - March 10th, 2005 at 03:16 PM

OK what have i done wrong. I have taken the CV's apart and cleaned them all then repacked with grease and put them back together the way i pulled them apart but know they wont move once on the shaft. any advice would be good and a photo to make sure i have done it right would be a added bonus. By the way they are Kombi

Thanks

What to you mean they won't move? Are they locked solid or just tight? I have had some feel tight on re-assembly. They can be put together wrong though and they won't pivot.
I go home past your place if you want me to have a quick stop in.
The bad news is I think they need to be off the axle to disassemble/re-assemble.

Thanks but i have found the problem and pulled them apart and back and now they are on. But i would love some help with trying to determine where some wires go.

CVs can be put together wrong.

You will note theres a big and small section between the grooves where the balls go in. You have to match oppisite sections when assembling. Put the larger outer section with the smaller inner.

Bit hard to explain... but
