how could that happen during shipping, the guy screwed u, sorry dude

 

hahaha, I literally just got done putting my new driveshaft in. And no they are not pressed together, they are held together with two allen bolts. But my question is do you have a AP1 or an AP2? Because I just got one from a member on here username davgoat.

He had an AP1 and an AP2 but I snatched up the AP1 version. Great seller, great shipping, and great quality though!!!

And waay cheaper than a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

They will come apart if you cock them at enough of an angle.

Pull the end cover of the CV joint (2 allen key bolts) and remove the circlip that secures the inner part onto the end of the propshaft spline.

Take note of the orientations of the components. You should be able to push one ball in at a time by angling the inner race so the ball would just be falling out of the groove in the outer race if it was in there to start with.

I normally use a large screwdriver or allen key to angle the inner race. Once the last ball goes it will actually be easier to move around as everything is in alignment.

Make sure the orientation of the 6 bolt holes in the joints are indexed the same on both ends of the driveshaft before you put the circlip back.

Once its all together, assemble with enough Moly grease to fill the section of the joint that has the balls in it only. Dont fill the bellows or end cap of you will be over full and the bellows will burst.

PS. try to do this somewhere where you can find the balls if they drop on the floor.

PPS. can provide replacement boot kits for approx $60 aussie dollars plus shipping.

 

And they told me you cant rebuild these!!!

 

Honda offers no replacement parts, specs to rebuild or procedures to do so.

Chris Barry has more resources than most to do so.
