Center Front CV Driveshaft...

[Kio Liex]

I was just wondering if it's possible to rebuilt the "LOSA3528 Center Front CV Driveshaft Assy" completly?
I know that there is kit rebuild kit for the part that goes into the front diff, but what about the part that goes into the center diff... I have without the big problems pushed/pressed out the little pin, that is getting worn down alot faster then the others...
I measured the pin the other day, and if I remember correct, it is 12,7 x 3mm...

You can replace the pin in the CVD, you need to buy a chain braker( Motorcycle shop) and the pin you can buy from Mcmaster Carr, there like 12.00 for 100pcs, i dont know the part number off hand but look up steel dowel pins and find the right size.

I know it's not a Losi part. but it should work.

those are what i use....but curious on the Mcmaster Carr route....i would wonder if they are as hard or harder then the mugen pins. ?


after looking they only make 12mm pins...which would fall short of what we need....we need 1/2 sized in between the whole #'s and why nothing above 12mm ?Jumps to 16mm that puts out doing wheel bone's.

I think I'll try the once from Amain... I can't find the right size at Mcmaster Carr...

Make sure to Use Liquid Red Loctite when re pressing the pin's.....they CAN and WILL walk if you dont. :)

Ok so if I wanted to do this then I would use a chain pusher thing to remove the pins. So how do I put the new pins in? And once I get them in what keeps them from sliding out?

[Neobart]

As Integra mentioned liquid red locktite holds the new pin in place. To get it in you push the old one halfway out, add the locktite to the new pin and use that to push the old one all the way out. At least that's how I'd do it. :)

the pins are a press fit from factory...no loctite used....But Once pressed out they Have a tendency to walk...and that's where the red loctite is used to keep them where you want.

No need to stress.
Just makes you sound a little up yourself when you read it over and over and over and over again, and then go to another forum and have to read it again.
Lucky there's no nodding heads on this forum :p

one day you'll understand :cool:

I use the Bone Saver micro press by Innovative Designs to replace the pins.
