CVD Question

[UE-Maxx]

I read that some people use CA glue to keep the pin from falling out. Is this important to do/should I do it. Also should I put grease in the boots. I got the hot bodies. Also how far does the end of the boot go on the CVD? Like to the end of the actualy cvd/where it meets the axle? If you have a picture that would be great.

Thanks

PS: Snakebit46, thanks for the cvds again.

Just loc tite it. I would say to do it. I had mine slide out on myStorm and it is a PITA to take it apart and have to fix it if you would have just loc-tited it in the first place...

[UE-Maxx]

Ok thanks. I just edited the post the same time you posted. If you have a question to that also that would be great and if anyone else has something to add.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Hmmm... I don't know about that though...

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. Thanks anyways.

Id stay away from greese. Just makes the boots slide off. Keep them clean and a drop of oil should be fine.

DrDex from UE made this for me when I bought his UE 8mm steel CVDs... it should apply to other cvds also.

How about the smaller end of the bootie, glue that too?

no.

Ok thanks a lot Rob. Wish I could go Monday.

PS: I am getting the MO probably Monday for the diffs. Now I need to find someone who is selling their cases.

Is this as far as the boot goes on?

[RobH]

looking at the picture, it seems that you can't lube MIP CVDs the way you can do with UE cvds. :eek:

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. I see what you mean. These will do for now or until they break. Then its off to UE.

unless you over extend the suspension, I doubt they will "break"... might wear out after a while (like over 5 gallons).

[UE-Maxx]

Oh. Then if I don't have a problem with them, they are staying with me. LOL I don't know how many gallons snakebite46 had on them.

Should I just spray them with the silicone everyone once and a while?

[r0nd3L]

I put the boots the other way on MIPs. Of course, they squish down when inserted into hub but work fine. I didn't fill them with grease though, just lubed a little.

[Tex]

those CVDs should last you a long time!

[UE-Maxx]

I just picked up some silicone spray. I put the puts on the way you said to rondel. I'll see how it goes when I get my truck together.

BTW: don't want to start a new thread, but are there any hobby shops that carry tony screw kits?

You might be able to get a hobby shop like leisure hours, or Als to order them for you, but then your probably better off ordering them yourself.

[UE-Maxx]

Ok thanks. I tried my LHS and HT in orland and they don't have any. Probably end up ordering it today. Rob, do you know what kind of pullstart I need to order for the cv-rx. There is like 6-7 different types.
