Next job for me is the drive shafts what I planned was new cvs new boots new pot joint boots but then this is where I get stuck I want to renew the ball and race which then sits inside the pot but I cant find this part on the sites
Does this mean when you buy new pots they come with that as a kit?
Or do they come fitted to new shafts only
Or are they rugged and only ever need a clean and grease?

If I've understood correctly and you mean the 6 large ball bearings, that's all part of the pot joint. The 'race'as you put it fits to the driveshaft with splines and an internal circlip the same as the outer CV.

That what I mean Ethel sorry for the wrong wording I got my pot joint and drive shaft just wanted to fit the new 6 ball bearing part or am I best to change the pot as well due to wear (such as fit new pads fit new discs) if that makes sense?

Ah, that's a Service Kit.

 

For the outers, I don't think as a spare they have been available since the early 60's and I've never known them to be available for the inners ever. I have parts books from near end of production, going back to 1964 and none of these have the service kits listed, only a joint and a boot.

 

Really, I could never see how a Service Kit could be applied. It has all the parts of a CV, except the Outer. All parts of the CV wear, including the outer, but except probably the Balls themselves. With oversize balls were listed in some of the workshop manuals, without dressing the slots for the balls in both the inner and outers to match, it would be futile. What's more, with the inners particularly, it was wear in the cage that made them 'bad' and gave the clicking noise.

 

Anyway, sorry for all that, but you'd be best off replacing the Joint, though usually, if the boot stays in tact, they do last a very long time.

It's a full rebuild of the car so the only secondhand bit of this section would be the shafts from what I can gather from above the cage and bearings aren't renewable or do you mean they are but only come with a new pots?

Perhaps think of it this way - they come with new pots.
