Applications

Tech Note 1: Puller Needed
If your CV Flange casting is OK, you can save money by replacing just the worn ball and seat with this Kit. Be advised you will need a 1"-1¼" blind hole bearing puller and a hydraulic press.

Tech Note 2: Install Tool
Installing this CV Kit can be challenging unless you have an install tool. A good, makeshift tool to press against the New Socket is your old, worn out socket without the ball.
