Inner CV Joint question
Posted this over on 993 but there appears to be expertise on this subject here as well, anyone?
OK, So I have completed the outer boot replace without much fanfare but a giant grease mess. I am about to wrap up the inner joint and have aligned everything as per the DIY (Correct) photo. Here are my questions:
1. Which side of the inner race is faced to the outside (toward the wheel)? I seem to recall the grooved side pointed out toward the wheel.
2. Assuming the casing is aligned properly with the inner race can the casing be put on regardless of which face is pointing out. Or, put another way, is there a proper orientation of the casing face? I don't want to screw it up!
Thanks to everyone.
