You broke down things that I have been told were "common sense" over and over again. But far too often, mistakes were made because nobody took the time to explain these simple things that are only simple after they have been explained clearly. Thank you. Informative and entertaining.
Wow, this is the most clear and thorough explanation of a 930 cv joint I've found. Thanks for the info. As others have said I'd love to see how they get mounted. Great videos overall. Keep up the good work. You're a nice change of pace from the grind hard boys. Can't wait to see the ez-gone and the bed kart ripping around.
Wonderful, never suspected how useful this video would be until I had a tray of parts and had to reassemble - thank you, it made reassembly painless and gave me the confidence that it was done correctly.
The name CV joint means Constant Velocity joint. These have no variation of angular velocity. A universal joint has a variation of angular velocity. So universal joints must be in phase. Cv joints have been invented so that they do not have to be in phase.
Never been accused of blue balling someone before... 😂 Honestly, I went through a tough divorce and am trying to get back on my feet again. I will finish it, it stares at me every day, begging to be worked on... It will feel so good to actually drive it one day... I feel your pain, believe me..
After all my vw "manx buggy" days of running bus cv's for strength I never thought or heard about having to put the cv's themselves in time ... I did however replace many a standard bug cv out in the middle of the dunes Ha !! Now I'll always wonder if my suspension was lacking or suffering ... I did get smart and used a needle grease tip that locks into the fitting on a grease gun which makes the install and mess way less ( as a mechanic it's kinda challenging to stay clean) ... Good video !!!
Is there a video on how did you attached it to the wheel? Do you have custom made knuckle or are you using knuckle/hub from some existing vehicle? Thanks.
@@motomule Alright. Thanks. I am assuming those six holes on Chevy’s 10 knuckle align with CV 930 holes. No adapters or drilling needed and outer spline matches the chevy’s hub. Correct?
Great video. But, CV joints do not need to be clocked or put in phase as that does nothing to change how the joint moves nor does it change the maximum angle of the joint/axle. They are "constant velocity" joints. Only joints that are not "constant velocity" need to be clocked or put in the correct phase.
Suggestion to make it easier on you next time you have to pack cv's, since you were using a grease gun cartridge full of grease and you have a nice little mill.... Make a flange with a grease zerk fitting that you can bolt onto the end of the CV and just pump it in. That would make it less messy and it will be packed for sure.
@@motomule I highly recommend using Greaser Plates that bolt in between the CV joint and the Flange. This way you can assemble completely dry and pump grease through the CV joint from the back side. You leave you boots slid back until grease comes out of the joint and then button things up. You can also add grease through the season to keep fresh grease coming through the joint. Do a search for them, this is something you could easily make yourself.
@@motomule not a problem! Being a machinist/modelmaker just north of you (live in Salem and work in Beaverton lol) I sometimes have to think on my feet lol. I know how the drudgery is like with doing CV joints on vw/Porsche/BMW axles because I have done a few myself back in my vw bug (air-cooled) and Passat days lol
@@bmgm37 if you closely, you'll see that I indeed have the grease plates installed. I still like to pack the cv's with grease first and use the grease plates for adding in more. Thanks for watching.
I have watched every episode (great build and phenomenal fabrication, by the way!) and scoured the comments on each one, and I can’t figure out how you setup the front hubs. In another comment you said you’re using the front hubs from a Chevy S10 in the rear, which is 5x4.75 bolt pattern if I’m not mistaken. Is the bolt pattern the same in the front? And if so, how did you pull it off? I’d like to build something similar to this, but I’d like to have all four hubs the same bolt pattern for consistency. Any feedback is much welcomed! Can’t wait to see this finished!
Thank you. Yes s10 pattern front and rear. Front hubs are all custom. I'm going through some life changes at the moment, I will finish this build in 2022.
Just purchased new CVs from Meyle ( mine were pitted) surprisingly the star raised face is on the same side as the outer ring groove assembled from the manufacturer. Unlikely they are incorrectly assembled - all 4 assemblies are the same. Maybe it doesn’t make a difference ?
@@motomule Thanks for getting back to me, Yep it’s confusing, checked a few other u tube videos and they are consistent with your assembly. Your content is great, I would have missed the orientation of each end - clocking I think is the term. I will likely leave the assembly as it came from the supplier, I think it doesn’t make a difference in operation. Will let you know if there is a problem after installation.
Great video dude just.... Deep down the struggle with grease packing would have been worth it along with actually install of the axle... Gives something else besides a disassemble video
Well, lucky for you, those tires won't be on this buggy very often.. I picked up some paddle tires that will be the standard equipment on this thing!! But, they don't have any white letters on them at all, sorry. 😆 Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely enjoy your videos but on a different note I recommend that you get you a grease gun save you a hell of a lot on work and reduce the cussing down to a minimum. LOL
@@motomule What method of gearbox housing did you use? aluminum casting for gasified models? I am building a skid steer loader and also plan to manufacture a gear case for distributing torque to a hydraulic pump. I also post videos on RU-vid.
😆 Crazy! I'm designing one RN a suzuki tl1000s engine/trans thats using a quaife rear, with a 15T front sprocket and 58T rear sprocket, and the potential top speed is still 112mph! I cant find sprockets big enough!
Not sure I understand your question??? This is for the rear of a dune buggy, it does not have rear steer. The outer joint is same as the inner in this application. When looking at a Front Wheel Drive setup, the outer joints need more angular motion than the inners because they must compensate for both suspension travel and steering.
@@Robertas_Grigas take a look at a Porshe or VW, that's what this video is about. There are non plunging 930 CV's but they are quite rare. Don't think they ever came stock in the cars....
(PLEASE READ) Hey Mike, I was hoping to have the 1st 1100cc blackbird build but you beat me to it!!! I have a complete engine in great condition with harness, etc... I have an adult 2 seater buggy to mate with the engine. I DO NOT have the tools or equipment necessary to do it right and safe. Would you be interested?
I've tried to contact Cars & Cameras, Vasily Custom Builds and Red Beard Garage to see if they would be interested but the only way I know to contact them is in the comments section so who knows if they seen it. So hopefully you will see my comment even if it's No. Lol
Nooooooooo!!! MIKE!!!! I was hoping to have the 1st 1100cc go-kart build on RU-vid as I have not seen anything over 1000 yet. That is until I clicked on Moto Mule to find a link to Grave Digger to send to my friend. You beat me to it! I have a CBR 1100X Blackbird engine that I wanted to put in an adult 2 Seater off-road go-kart. I don't have the necessary tools and equipment to do this properly and with this much horse power, I can't afford to use duck tape and glue for the fab work. So I been trying to contact the other go kart channels to see if they would be interested in doing the build. Unfortunately, nobody responded so Im stuck until I can buy the tools I need. :-/
How the heck did I miss this video series? I've been searching RU-vid for cbr1100 kart builds and didn't find anything specific to kart fab using the 1100 blackbird. I only found this build when I went to your channel to link a grave digger video to send to my friend. Who had the blackbird engine I want to use on my kart. Lol
But I don't have those fancy non-plunging high angle joints... That's your job to educate us on the fancy stuff!!! I'm just a simple EMPI 930 plunging CV type of guy... 😆
