CV's repack
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2004 6:17 pm
I'm going to repack my CV's and just want to check what is the recommended way. I've done it once before. The quesytions I have are : 1.....What grease?
2.....Do i have to replace the seals that go in the back of the hub to stop oil from diff? I didn't do it first time?
3.....After playing in water I usually check those bolts on bottom of swivel hub for contamination. Sometimes a little water comes out. Is it neccessary to repack every time?
4.....My auto locking hubs have a bit of grease in them, looks like its come from the CV area. could this be right? and should there be much in there at all? or just a little bit on the end of axle splines when reassembling.
5.....there's no gaskets anywhere, is it all right for a bit of seepage over time?
6.....how much grease will do both hubs?
Apologies for all the questions, but I'd rather get it right than pay the goons (N.....) for maybe doing it?
Thanks in Advance
