Managed to get back onto the CV joints this past weekend. The first picture is after I had wirebrushed and painted the drive shafts & CV joint housings in the POR 15 paint. I have placed the shaft in the vice and pushed on the first CV boot, I have read a number of sites that suggest you don't need to put the washer on as it can be difficult the get the sirclip on at a later stage, I trial fitted mine and in went on ok so I added it back on. (This joint is similar to the ones used on the early VW beetles so there is plenty of stuff on the net in regards assembly and disasembly ie
CV Joint Maintenance)
If you do take the CV joint appart when you are cleaning the joint make sure you don't mix anything between the different CV joints (Do one at a time). Once the joint is off the shaft you are able to spin the centre around to remove the balls. As in Picture 2 you need to make sure that you align the large outer spacing with the small inner spacing, otherwise the joint wont work and it will go together in the wrong position, good idea to mark every thing as you take it off so it does go back together correctly.
In Picture 3 I filled the back of the CV joint with grease, need to keep a little for the other side and the rest goes in the boot.
In picture 4 I used the aluminum drift to tap the CV joint back onto the shaft.
In picture 5 I have put the sirclip back on. NOTE if you cannot get the sirclip to fit back on many sites suggest you can remove the bottom washer (Picture 1) which will give you some more clearance. Mine did fit back on Ok with the washer in place.
