Chevrolet Corvette CV Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to replace the outer CV Joint and seal of the axle shaft assembly on Chevrolet Corvette?
    A:
    To change the outer joint and seal of the Axle Shaft assembly, first, make sure that the Drive Shaft is removed from the vehicle. Start by wrapping a shop towel around the Axle Shaft and then suspending the wheel part of the Drive Shaft on a bench vise with it placed horizontally. Use a side cutter to trim the large and small seal retaining clamp from CV Joint seal and throw it away. It has also been recommended to separate the seal from the joint outer race, then re-position it behind the joint face. To clean grease from the inner race of joint, cage, and the balls, pull the outer joint from the Axle Shaft by using an assistant to hold the joint while striking with a hammer on a wood block to compress the axle-shaft retaining clip. Eliminate the Axle Shaft retaining ring and the part sealing off the Axle Shaft, clean all elements carefully with solvent and dry them off by air. For install, use j 42572 drive axle seal clamp pliers for crimping the new small seal retaining clamp on to the Axle Shaft after installing the seal. Make sure the larger radius corners of the cage windows are up and install the inner race to the cage correctly, aligning it. Mount the balls in a sequential manner, without any blank spaces between the ball and the inner race ball track. After dabbing grease from the service kit, allow the outer joint to fly on the Axle Shaft while pressing the retaining clip with a flat-bladed screwdriver back into place. Finally, crimp the big seal retaining clamp by using the j 42572 in adherence with proper gap specifications, and check the assembly for smooth movement before installing the wheel Drive Shaft into the vehicle.
