Fitting
Fitting
   
–  Fit the ball hub on both bevels in the ball cage. The installation position is arbitrary. Press on the balls so that they are pushed into place in the cage.
–  Fit the hub with the cage and the balls vertically in the joint element.
  Note
  V40-0011
t  When fitting, ensure that the larger distance -a- on the joint housing coincides at all points with the smaller distance -b- on the hub after turning it.
t  The bevel on the internal diameter of the ball hub (cogs) should point to the larger diameter of the joint element.
  V40-0012
–  Rotate the ball hub, to do this, gently pull out -arrows- the hub from the cage, so there is a distance from the friction tracks.
  V40-0013
–  Press hard on the cage -arrow- insert turning the ball hub.
Verification of the constant velocity joint operation
The constant velocity joint is correctly fitted if the ball hub can be moved by hand, from one side to the other in the full range of the joint compensation.
