M1009 Is there a guide for rebuilding the Saginaw Double Cardin CV?

[Loco_Hosa]

My M1009 hyper compressed the front driveshaft and broke the CV, causing a hell of an ugly clunk sound when in 4wd. I took it apart, shortened the shaft, but Im having trouble understanding how this CV goes back together and I would love some help. And yes, I tried to check the TMs and searched.

All of the pieces on the transfer case side were already gone when I took it apart, so I dont have a great idea of what it should look like all together.

Someone at pirate 4x4 shared this.

This shows how it is supposed to fit together. I think my flange is a bit far gone.

Yeah, the one in the video seems to be a lot tighter where the three pieces fit in.

And he seems to have more depth to work with

Yep, and also after seeing that "weld"... I'd recommend finding a good take-out part and replace the whole shaft.

Of course, it never hurts learning how things (should) work.

Ouch! Yeah, I was having some issues with the machine and a "Professional" had already cut it and welded it before.... but really mangled it. I am planning to grind it down and take a second pass.

With the 52inch front springs any driveshaft I pull will be too short, so Im better off to make it work with what I have.

I usually just send them in to a driveline shop for rebuild once they clunk around a bit you never seem to get the ball and socket to load right again
