Kim,

likely you don't need this info, but I found it to be
the best for CV maint/replace.

http://www.van-cafe.com/vanagonparts.jsp?pa=ip&ip=1150562894

It actually explained which end of hub, ball cage etc.
faces which
direction. I couldn't understand Bentley's
explaination.

And likely you know this too, but make sure you use
hammer/drift on correct part of CV and NOT on end of
driveshaft to drive CV off axle.

Cheers.
