Ball bearings on the floor

Recommended Posts

I put my engine in this week end and the drive shaft must have been knocked as the engine went in. There are 4 large ball bearings on the floor. As it started to rain I had to go in. Have I done some expensive damage?

You've knocked the inner CV joint and taken it past it's normal operating angle, so the balls have fallen out.... :roll:

 

As long as you've got all the balls, and they're clean and not pitted, then you should be able to re-assemble it with no problems... 8) Make sure you use plenty of Molybdenim grease when you put it back together though... :)

Why does that sound like one of those false jokey mechanics things like clitoris drops? :?:

Yeah, Molybdenim always sounds odd... most people say Moly grease... :)
