Fig. 41 Removing cross from cage. Outer C/V joints
12. Rotate inner cross 90 degrees to cage and align one of the race spherical lands with an elongated cage window. Raise land into cage window and
remove inner race by swinging outward.
Inspection
1. Check housing ball races for excessive wear.
2. Check splined shaft and nut threads for damage.
3. Inspect the balls for pitting, cracks, scoring and wearing. Dulling of the surface is normal.
4. Inspect cage for excessive wear on inner and outer spherical surfaces, heavy brinnelling of cage, window cracks and chipping.
5. Inspect inner race (Cross) for excessive wear or scoring of ball races.
6. If any of the defects listed in steps 1 through 5, are found, replace the C/V assembly as a unit. Polished areas in races (Cross and housing) and
on cage spheres are normal and do not indicate a need for joint replacement unless they are suspected of causing noise and vibration.
