I am taking CV Joint 101. Need help.

[Konstantin Bogach]

I was able to asseble it with inner race on shaft with no problem.  Of
course,  initially I misaligned inner and outer joints.  The key is that
point on the middle between converging grooves on inner race should be alinged
with the point on the middle between diverging groovs on outer race when
looking at CV as on picture below.

of your look

I hope it makes sense.  Sorry,  I don't have digital camera.

Thank you for your help.

Konstantin.
