Inner CV Joint, Checking: Installing: Notes
Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:
-- Insert the ball hub -1- into the ball cage -3- via two chamfers. The installation position is arbitrary. Push the balls -2- in the cage.
Ball hub has two different distances between ball tracks, a larger and a smaller.
-- Insert hub with cage and balls upright into joint piece -4-.
When inserting, make sure that in each case the wide gap -a- at joint piece contacts narrow gap -b- at hub after swinging in.
Chamfer on inner diameter of ball hub (splines) must face large diameter of joint piece.
-- Pay attention to the bevel on the inner diameter of the ball hub. Must be visible after swinging in.
-- Swing in ball hub -1-, to do so swing out hub far enough from cage -arrows- so that the balls have the distance of the running paths.
-- Swing in hub with balls -1- by pressing forcefully onto cage -arrow-.
