Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Be warned!
I bought a new one made in china and it is stuck on my diff. Chatting with jim this week and it appears to be a secret but known problem.

Like most mini parts nowadays, I'd be looking to find a good secondhand one

My one is some how slipping.

How are your balls?

I had a right bastard of a time getting a pair of new pot joints off the diff output shafts. Ended up taking the whole diff off the gearbox in one and taking it to a bloke with a gurt big vice, mounted on an uber heavy steel bench then eased them off with a big fucking hammer. The spring clips broke in the process and the joints rendered useless. All that extra trouble to save a few pennies? and note, It was not me saving the pennies!

It's hard to say these days, as pretty much everything seems to be sub standard, but you won't go far wrong with new old stock, if you can find it. Thats why I buy it up when I can

If there is any doub't, I'd always take a punt with Minispares, as you do at least get an honest description in most of the cases.

I have not looked yet, but when i go to drive it, it makes should a bang!!

I had that side off to do that boot that went at the RR day when the eng was out.

So i think its all down to my balls then.

Right I know F all about the metro, so will a up to 1990 metro inner cv fit as well?

I THINK the metro cv's are smaller. Im sure ive had to swap some over before because my box had some on that were too small.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

There were some that had smaller, err.. ball areas. These will be like a chipolata in a wizard's sleeve...

I think this was only on a few of the 998's so you probably be ok but I'm not entirely sure

The metal parts of the metro ones are essentially the same - I used the ones from my Metro donor engine without any problem - but as you can see in the eBay photo, the boot arrangement is completely different and has to be removed as it doesn't fit on a Mini drive shaft. The Mini boot did fit in my case but the locating groove for it was slightly different IIRC.

Personally I would avoid a remanufactured one - if it has genuinely been remanufactured, the grooves will have been reground and larger balls fitted - this makes for a whole load of non interchangeable parts and the inner section is weaker.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Looks like Minispares did sell them for minis so i think i will get some

I also had these problems with an inner CV not coming off due to the circlip sticking. I seem to remember knocking out the little metal centre disk in the pot and use a 3 legged puller though in the end?
