Outer CV Joint, Checking
It is necessary to disassemble the joint whenever replacing the
grease or if the ball surfaces show wear or damage.
Removing
– Mark position of ball hub to ball cage and to housing before
disassembling, using electro-writer or grindstone.
– Swivel the ball hub and ball cage.
– Remove the balls one after the other.
– Turn cage until the two rectangular windows -arrow- are
aligned with the joint housing.
– Lift out cage with hub.
– Swing segment of hub into rectangular window of cage.
– Fold hub out from cage.
The 6 balls of each joint belong to one tolerance group. Check
stub axle, hub, cage and balls for small depressions (pitting build-
up) and chafing. Excessive circumferential backlash in joint
makes itself noticed via tip-in shock, in such cases joint should be
replaced. Flattening and running marks of balls are no reason to
replace joint.
Installing
– Press in half of the total grease amount (40 grams) into joint
body.
– Insert cage with hub into joint body.
– Press in opposing balls in sequence, during this, previous po‐
sition of ball hub to ball cage and to joint body must be
established again.
– Install new circlip into the hub.
– Distribute remaining grease in the joint boot.

Inner CV Joint, Checking
Removing
The joint must be disassembled for the following work:
♦ Replace the grease if it is very dirty
♦ For checking the contact surfaces for wear
♦ For checking the bearings for wear
– Swivel the ball hub and ball cage.
– Remove the joint in direction of -arrow-.

-arrows-.
– Check joint piece, ball hub, ball cage and balls for small broken
off depressions (pitting build-up) and chafing.
Excessive circumferential backlash in joint makes itself noticed
via tip-in shock. Joint must be replaced in such cases. Flattening
and running marks of balls are no reason to replace joint.
Installing
– Insert ball hub into ball cage via two chamfers. The installation
position is at random. Press balls into cage.
Ball hub has 2 different distances between ball tracks, a larger
and a smaller.
– Insert hub with cage and balls upright into joint piece.
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.
– Also note chamfer on inner diameter of ball hub, it must be
visible after swiveling in.
– Swing in ball hub, to do this swing out hub far enough from
cage -arrows- so that the balls have the distance of the running
paths.
– Swing in hub with balls by pressing forcefully onto cage
-arrow-.
CV Joint, Checking for Function
