patman Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hello gang, I've decided to actually get some cv joints for my starlet, I see they do them on a site called ICP, below I have put a picture up, but there seems to be 2 different types of cv joint, I have a 1993 starlet GT turbo (non-abs) model, does anyone actually know what size I will need seems there's 1 withOuter 23 teethInner 23 splinesAnd the otherOutlet 23 teethInner 30 splinesI really don't want to have to take the ones out at the moment to check then put them back together again.Thanks Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patman Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys I was hoping you lot wouldn't say that haha, stupid question here as I haven't never done any work or info on driveshafts, I take it the outer is the one that sits in the hub and the inner is the one that's nearest to the gearbox if that makes sense, thanks lads 👍🏻 Edited June 3, 2016 by patman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yeah you got it. The inner is completely different to the outer one which you'll probably find out when faffing about with them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) What a pain in the ass but thankyou morgey for the info driveshaft itself once it's out the hub lets say, I presume it's cv boot off or pulled back, then there must be a clip in there holding it in take that off then it pops out I take it plan on doing both sides not just the one Edited June 4, 2016 by patman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last i remembered The outer c.v is held on with a spring clip inside the joint itself, you pull the boot back and have to knock of the old c.v with a copper hammer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) the one holding it to the driveshaft its a spring one into the gearbox i believe. i no i had to crack out my circlip pliers when i changed my front cv boot Edited June 4, 2016 by akyakapotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Once again thanks for the info guys, I tend to do this with the driveshafts still in the gear box if possible, or do I actually have to take them both out I suppose it would be a lot easier that way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
