So me new CV and half shaft arrived today, the hub was all stripped out and ready to go so I thought I'd fit 'em in my lunchtime.
Was really chuffed with myself, got it all back in and together in 45 minutes, only problem - the wheel wouldn't turn. I've stripped it all back and the stub axle seizes up when I put the nip on a bolt that holds the swivel housing cover on (the bit with the tube that the stub axle goes through).
I've taken it back apart, given it a wiggle, knocked the halfshaft into the CV joint to make sure it's all the way home, sworn at it, still seizes as the nip goes on any of the six bolts that hold that cover on.
Any thoughts on why this ain't working? I'm running out of time.
Any and all suggestions, sensible or otherwise, gratefully received.
