Rebuilding
the UTV / SxS CV Joint (Continued..) |

| This
is what it will look like after the parts
are together & ready for the bearings |
| |
Be
sure to install the bearings across from
each other one at a time |
To install the ball bearings simply rotate the
spider inside the cage until you can get one ball
in at a time. It is easiest to place the ball
bearings across from each other to keep the tension
on the cage even. With every bearing that is installed
the tighter they get and a little harder to install
each one.
|
Once
the bearings are all in you are ready for
grease |
The cage will now be tight in the cup and from
here its time to put some Lucas oil Moly-based
CV grease to work. I use a small hand held grease
gun but a standard grease gun is sufficient. The
grease can be seen squeezing out from around the
bearings and now we are ready for reassembly of
the joint and axle. Be sure to put the new boot
onto the axle before installing the axle into
the CV.

small hand held grease gun works great for
greasing the new CV joint bearings |
