Hi all.

Being so distracted with thoughts and work making hot
air ducts for heat exchangers, (long story, but can
supply idea/pics if air cooled owners are curious. I
have this theory..... ;^) I failed to thouroughly read
Bently etc. thus didn't mark the position of parts on
CV's I removed.

This is not urgent, as I am installing new CV's but
would like to get the old CV parts assembled and off
the bench for future use as spares.

Bently manual states on P. 42.9  that "chamfer on
inside diameter of ball hub (splines) must point to
contact shoulder on axle shaft and to larger diaemter
of outer ring"

Does this mean that the chamfered end of ball hub and
larger diameter of ring point outward toward groove
for circlip when installed correctly? What measurement
am I looking for in outer ring that would indicate
this "larger diameter"?  It seems to me that the
chamfered end of ball hub would point inward to
facilitate ease of getting it started on drive shaft
splines when installing.

And yes have compared old CV to new CV (though these
look rebuilt!) but still can't see what I should be
looking for.

Please and thanks, and sorry for the lengthy blah
blah,
