Hi all,
Replaced my front wheel bearings on part time 105hzj cruiser.
tightened them up so i can feel some resistance to turning, but the cv
shaft does not protrude far enough for me to get the circlip on (i cant
see the groove it sits in) I know to pull the cv out with the thead in the
end, it just doesnt move far enough.
The only thing I can think to do is drive it as it is.. maybe they need
to wear in or something?
Please anyone got any idea?

10 mm or 122 mm metric fine thread bolt in the center of shaft end theer is a thread shove the bolt finger tight in there and pull towards you this will pull cv towards you and give you enough room to get clip on make sure clip has not been overstreched or it will come off on road

if you cant pull it out far enough still check the bearing cups are home and the brass bush in the back of the swivel housing is also home.
good luck

if you put that bolt in the thread at the end, you can tie thin rope or string around the bolt and wrap it around your hand to pull it out harder

also check that the dust/grease seal in the back of the hub is seated properly

Yep pull the disc and hub back off. Apprentice did this a while ago on a gu, fawked the hub seal and you couldn't get the cv out enough to put the circlip on.

what they both said it is very easy to have the bearing bind when it goes on a little rub with emery paper to clean the stub axle should do the trick
