Re: [T3] CVjoints questions

[Daniel Baum <daniel@type34.info>]

<x-flowed>Now that I have dismantled and cleaned all of the CV joints, a couple 
more poins.

The inner CV joints are more worn on the inner hub, the outer ones more 
worn on the outer hub. I suppose it's totally out of the question to 
take the least worn parts and make up two good CV joints, and then buy 
two new ones? What about rotating them; i.e. putting the inner ones on 
the outside and vice-versa? If not,  I'm leaning towards keeping the 
outer ones, because the hubs are worn smooth (kind of cratered) but not 
pitted, and replacing the inner ones, because there is definite pitting 
on the inner hubs.

I've decided to replace all of the screws. After having a good look at 
them, it's clear that a good proportion of them need pensioning off. 
Seems reasonable to me that every 35 years the screws need replacing. 
I'll be much happier using my torque wrench on new screws.
