Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys, Im looking for advice as such or even if there is a thread on this? I did a few searches but mostly came up with strength of them or breaking them mostly Landrover ones haha

Anyway Im pulling the front end apart this weekend and rebuilding replacing the lot, but thought about the CV's is there any special way of re-packing them.....? Im also doing the bearings felts and kinpin bearings as well so I will get photos of pull apart and put back together if there isnt anything for the bible tech section...?

i use to use a paint scaper and work it in

Not perfectly relevent, but heres a go:

I found just ramming the grease into the CV balls (bearing balls not the swivel ball), then rotating the axles in your hand and swivelling the CV, repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and get RSI. Its messy, probably bad for skin, but works. This is with the axle shafts etc removed from the car axle housing.

Use the black/charcoal colour castrol grease. As said put cv end in the vise and push grease into the bearing using the heel of the palm. Work one spot until it comes out the other end then move on. This will ensure grease is all the way through it. Its messy but an easy job.

^^^ wot he said.

Roll up your sleeves and get into it.

Lithium grease "LMB" (the grey stuff) is the correct grease for CV's.

Steve.

Yeah castrol call it LMM grease and just remeber if there's shims in the kingpin's make sure they all go back the same. Have fun

And don't scratch/adjust, it's really obvious on light blue shorts

Thanks for the info guys and advice on the Grease to use I totally forgot about that so I best get some this arvo as well...

Yeah times two on the Shims my dad taught me that when doing cruisers and Hiluxes and what not...

And remember to wear dark pants so people cant see where I been scratching check
