outer cv joint

[Kenny]

Curious as to why you are trying to take it apart? To regrease or replace the spline end?

Just so happens I was under the car this weekend and found two torn outer boots (no Larry, not the Mecatechs). Looks like I have a fun Saturday in July ahead of me. When I'm in there I'll take pics, but I wouldn't be surprised that the outer joint is similar to the inner with a cage and bearing held in by a C-ring. Well guess I'll find out - and post pics in a few weeks. Or like Gizmo says - not made to easily come apart.

Prepare to be suprised. No C-ring.

You'll end up installing the outer CV boots using the same instructions you used for the inners. The only difference will be that after you disassemble the inner CV, you'll slide the outer boot all the way down the shaft. Careful cutting the bands off of your inners since you'll probably want to re-use the boot. It's easy to cut the boot in the process.
