Axle rebuild

Looks like the link is gone. What are you using for grease in your axles? What about venting the boots do you use spray straws?
@Michael Schneider , seems you closed down your youtube account? Would you be willing to repost the video?
It should be updated now. Let me know if that link has any issues
@Michael Schneider Hye just FYI the axle in the video was rebuilt incorrectly. There is an aligment between inner and outer race you missed. Wide to narrow and narrow to wide.

Last season. I got it back together and it had no mobility at all. Wouldn't move properly. And the alignment of the short/long grooves was why.
This is absolutely correct. Thank you for pointing that out.@Michael Schneider Hye just FYI the axle in the video was rebuilt incorrectly. There is an aligment between inner and outer race you missed. Wide to narrow and narrow to wide.

Cv race alignment is critical they go together but don’t work! Had a mechanic do it on one of my FR cars 20 years ago. Cost us a customer and him his job!
Couple things to add, unless you're a masochist, plug the holes before packing with grease 3/16 vacuum caps work great. Or, if you want to be the indisputable coolest kid on the playground you can print your own custom plug + cover from TPU. ~80 grams is a standard amount of grease and it's already overkill
Reason I had these off was because the outsides were coming loose. I'm going to red thread lock them along with nordlocks, serviceability be damned, I refuse to let these come loose again. Little extra time during service vs peace of mind is an easy trade.

Re-edited the axle video with the updated information on the correct alignment of the inner and outer cage. Updating the link tonight when I upload the video. Thank you Josh H for pointing that out
