| Well, I reconnected the CV joint to the hub. I used the cable tie idea.
Positioned on hub over the splines tapped down until passed over compressed spring and cut the tie BUT only part of the tie came out lost in the moly grease and the bowels of the cv bearing. I wasn’t taking it off again. I kept on taping the hub down until there was sufficient thread showing to put the hub plate on and, using it to draw the outer shaft fully into the hub.
There din’t seem to be any stiffness in the rotation of the joint – now lubricated by molybdenum disulphide grease with added , soon to be ground up uPVC particles.
What could go wrong.
I was going to sort out the middle shaft, build up the needle bearings and tie it all up in cling film. I bought some new needles which arrived yesterday.
Woody - Did you receive my P.M.?
