How to assemble CV Joint Axle Porsche Type 930 Take it apart and put back together in Phase

Here's a video to show you how to put a cv joint back together in phase, or clock the cv's, on the axle. Many of the German Porsche and Volkswagen CV joints have the features shown in this video. The Porsche 930 CV's are very popular on Sand Rails, Dune Buggies, Mini Buggies, and high performance Sand Cars. If your buggy has a constant velocity joint axle, chances are that it's a Porsche or VW cv joint.
This video is part 11 of the build series of my Honda Blackbird powered Ez-Go Golfcart Buggy.
This Golf Cart features the engine from a 1997 Honda CBR1100xx Blackbird motorcycle. Fox 2.0 Air Shocks giving it a long travel suspension of 18 inches at each wheel. The forward reverse gearbox gives a gear reduction of 5.4:1 and the output flanges are made for Porshe 930 CV Joints.
Thank you for watching!

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.

[@motomule]

Thank you! And thanks for watching.

[@pauldaly3589]

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.

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.

Holy Crap! My buggy joints are on backwards and possibly out of phase! Of all the buggy build videos I've watched, never learned this. Thanks!

[@motomule]

Thanks for watching. Hope you get yours corrected before any damage occurs.

[@arcopierik3894]

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.

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 !!!

[@motomule]

Thanks!!

[@jhitt79]

Nice video on the cv itself but I’m really only interested in how there’re mounted the the buggy. Do you have a video on installation?

[@bajasoobnut]

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]

That is a great idea!! Thank you. Thanks for watching!!

[@bmgm37]

@@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.

[@bajasoobnut]

@@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

[@motomule]

@@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.

[@colten457]

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!

[@motomule]

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.

[@colten457]

@@motomule Thanks for the feedback! Take whatever time you need, man. We support you, and wish you the best.

[@Traderhood]

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]

Hub assembly is from the front of a Chevy s10 pickup.

[@Traderhood]

@@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?

[@Traderhood]

But I am looking at the rear trailing arm and that seems to be custom made.

[@pauldaly3589]

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]

Hmmm, been a while since I studied this. Hard to imagine the factory would mess up all of them...

[@pauldaly3589]

@@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.

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

😆 Thanks!!!!

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

Did you ever finish this cart? If so, where are the videos?????

[@Robertas_Grigas]

why are you running only inner cv joints?

[@motomule]

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]

well on all rwd, fwd, awd, cars I've seen the outer cvs are fixed and only the inner ones are plunging.

[@motomule]

@@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....

[@lennym1273]

I would have put the white lettering on the tires facing out 2¢...

[@motomule]

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!!

[@scottwinders9961]

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.

[@teeshark6584]

Nooooooooo!!! MIKE!!!! I was hoping to have the 1st 1100cc go-kart build on KZbin 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. :-/

[@teeshark6584]

How the heck did I miss this video series? I've been searching KZbin 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

(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...
