The assembly of these devices, commonly known, alongwith the gearbox, as ‘transmission’, comprises the folowing: = rght and loft axle shetts; = gearbox and whee! side constant velocity joints; + intermediate shaft. 1.

On the ends there are the seats for the circlips (2) which retain the actual joins. Constant velocity joints are formed of an inner core (1d) known as “orive’, keyed onto the input shat and an outer shell (1a), known as “driven”, which is tne output piece of the joint ‘On the outer surface of the inner core, there are six ound grooves which contain six balls (1b), held in lace by cage (1c). ‘These balls are the actual motion transmission element and they are contemporaneously housed in six grooves machines on the inner surface of the shell tant vel y INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REMOVING/REFITTING += Set the car on a lift - Disconnect the battery (-) terminal 1.
