So it appears as the grease was generic (non branded). Do a search - it appears lots of companies made grease for CV joints.
Thanks all. Not sure if my impact wrench qualifies as “good” so we’ll see. So will replace the cv boots on both sides then attempt replacing the right rear wheel bearings. At worst I’ll throw in the hat an order the complete hub with bearings Vince FerrariChat.com mobile app
Impact wrench = disassembly Torque wrench = assembly Reversing that = serious damage. BTW, I have the "Porsche" CV boot parts option. If someone wants to go that route let me know. I never used them and they are available.
Interesting. My dry fit suggested they kinda do. Just not well IMHO. The axle diameter was bigger than what the boot was built for but if a guy wanted to make them work...he could. Would I recommend it? No. I bought the Ferrari parts after I did the dry fit.
I would just get a correct boot from one of the Ferrari suppliers and be done. It is not that expensive....
Yea, duck away actually.... Promoting? Come on Dave....not sure where you got that perspective from. Just saying I have some parts and if someone is so inclined...they can have them cheap as I am not using them.
Image Unavailable, Please Login What does it take to get the rotor off? There are no retaining bolts and I’ve tried tapping/whacking a wood block with a hammer up against the inside of the rotor. Maybe a puller? Just want to make sure I’m not missing something. Thanks Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Vince - you have an aftermarket wheel spacer on the car. Remove the 5 hex head bolts to get the spacer off. When off, you will likely have 1 or 2 other fasteners holding the rotor on the hub that will be visible once you get the wheel spacer off.
Well I answered my own question. The rotor broke loose with vibration from impact wrench taking off the wheel spacer. Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Here is a tip for you- when you take the CV joints apart, either try to not take them apart all the way (by taking each bearing out one at a time and cleaning them one at a time individually) OR have some kind of a system to identify each bearing and where it goes in relation to the rest of the joint. Each bearing is of slightly different diameter than the next one. If you use a parts washer ensure it is completely dry before applying the new grease. The fluid of the parts washer will eat the grease while its in the boot.
Hello When doing the cv boot on my Mondial T I just removed the driveshaft by undoing the bolts from their flanges (gearbox and hub) and that was it, I left the hub in place. It should be also possible on a 348? You avoid to mess with the hub nut and other stuff to take apart and you save time, even if it is a little bit time consuming to undo the gearbox side bolts if you don't lift the car nicely.
Yes, I’ve been looking at them. Thanks. The difference is the one in the video has a axle shaft nut. Mine doesn’t. Looking at what this means as far as getting the shaft out Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Ok so mine was the same as your Mondial T. Did not have to loosen the hub by taking the A Arm bolts out - Hallelujah !

Anyone ever use this type of strap for the boot? Image Unavailable, Please Login Vince FerrariChat.com mobile app
You have to use a plier like this one https://www.ebay.fr/i/332875757934?chn=ps&dispItem=1 to tighten the band and then cut it. I went through this two months ago I just gave up using these clamp since I wasn't managing to get it not to leak when back on the car. I bought standard CV boot clamps with their ears and with the proper plier it was done much more easily and quickly and it doesn't leak..
