I did not pay attention while I was fixing this. I'm having problems trying to remember how this part goes

This is how mine looks:

Is the part where the ball bearings go.

Really need to see your pics to see how you've got it oriented. If you're talking about that taper on the ring, the tapered side should go toward the outside of the axle.

This is the part I'm talking about: THE RING!



One side is wider that the other. I put the wider side towards the cv joint. Let me try to explain, I put the wider side in, looking toward the transmission. The thinner side to the outside, towards the wheel. This way you can't remove the ring without removing the star.

You talking about the ring or the star? Ring should have the taper toward the wheel side, star should be symmetrical iirc.

The ring! How is the correct way to put it?

Sorry, I did not realize that you can't see the pictures. The easiest way to explain it is, Can you remove the ring without removing the star?

I believe so, but I'd have to see one again to make sure.

Something so simple and is driving me insane. They way I put it is that you can't remove the ring without removing the star. With the thinner side toward the wheel.
