I received a new replacement CV joint for the one on my 82 X1/9. The old CV joint has what the service manual refers to as a 'Cover'. I could not get the old CV joint off of the axle (which is why I ordered axle, CV joint, and washer from Midwest Bayless). I realized I needed the 'cover' piece after I received the new parts. I ordered the cover, and now am trying to determine how to install it on the CV joint.
A sort of brass hat-shaped part (see picture) that needs to be in place for the boot to have somewhere to be clamped onto.
How should this be connected to the CV joint? Is it just a press-fit? Or do they use some form of adhesive?
