Repacking CV axle and correct orientation of /CV joint

[marty77]

Hello

I am going over my new to me FM and was replacing the CV boots and figured it was time to repack the bearings while I had it apart. I thought I put it back together the same as I took it off but after watching some VW axle rebuild videos I am beginning to 2nd guess how I put the joints back together. Could someone possibly chime in and let me know if I messed this up, Youtube has several opinions as to the correct orientation.

On the wheel hub side or gearbox side (circlip side), I installed the beveled side of the cage, the flat side of the splined inner and the deeper grooved outer race

On the CV boot side, I installed the flat side of the cage, stepped splined inner, and less grooved outer.

Is this order correct? Does it matter? I have seen at least 3 other combinations on YouTube

Also, if anyone knows any FM people in the Denver area, I would love to make contact and see what you all are running for gearing at our local track HPR

Thanks
Marty

Look on Outfront Motorsports website. There’s a great explanation and pictures there.

Thanks! Here is the link if anyone finds this down the road with the same question. It looks like the chamfered/beveled side of the cage they have listed as the large opening side instead of the chamfered/beveled side as I listed it

On all my axles I have a shoulder for the CV to rest against then the circlip holds it on the axle. Their first photo shows no shoulder on the axle. Would an axle like this work if both ends were plunge type joints?

Did you ever get an answer on what happens if both plunge, and conversely, what if you assemble two non plunging units on the same axle?
