just rebuilt my cv joints for the cossie and they wont swivel now!!!! ARRRGGGHHH what have i done wrong? First time i have done this, thought it was a case of take them out clean it all up and throw them back in?

Theres a cut out ring round the end of the two rings inside that hold the bearings. does this need to be facing a certain direction.?

Need help please guys.

 

are the bearings in properly?

 

dunno? first time i have done it, do they need to be in a certain way?

 

The cage does need to go in a certain place. Well, not specifically, but you will be one ball out.

Mark where it is now, rotate one hole and rebuild.

The holes are not evenly spaced and they align differently with the angled slots for the balls so it can move. Get it wrong and it'll be solid...and hard to get apart again lol

 

quality! thanks mate, had a feeling that might be it. will try first thing in the morning cheers
