A detailed workshop manual style video shows how to take apart, inspect & reassemble the inner cv & boot. And how to remove & replace a worn outer cv joint & boot.

How to remove a ATV’s CV Axle! This is the exact procedure for any Honda ATV, and very similar for most any other ATV, with Polaris and a few Kawasakis being the exceptions! Please comment if you would like to know if the procedure is the same for your particular ATV!

Applied to the CV joint, props and enables smooth rotation of the ball bearings. The CV joint cage is spherical but with ends open, and typically has six openings around the perimeter.

In a CV joint, CV Joint Cage is a critical component designed to hold and guide the ball bearings, enabling them to rotate smoothly within the joint. The CV Joint Cage has a spherical shape but is open on both ends, allowing for unrestricted movement of the balls. Typically, the CV Joint Cage features six evenly spaced openings around its perimeter. These openings house the ball bearings, allowing them to move freely while maintaining their proper alignment. This design not only facilitates the smooth transfer of torque from the drive shaft to the wheels but also ensures that the CV joint operates efficiently at various angles, reducing friction and wear on the joint. The precision engineering of the CV Joint Cage is essential for the longevity and performance of the CV joint, especially in demanding driving conditions.

The CV joint cage is a vital component within the CV joint, yet it is also one of the more vulnerable parts due to its susceptibility to breakage under stress. To withstand the demands of its role, the CV joint cage is typically constructed from high-strength alloys. These materials are specifically chosen for their durability and resistance to wear. To further enhance its resilience, the cage undergoes a carburizing heat treatment process, which significantly improves its hardness and surface strength. This treatment allows the cage to endure the intense forces and friction it encounters during operation, ultimately extending the lifespan of the CV joint and ensuring reliable performance over time.
