Replacing Half Shafts with CV

I am just about to install CV axles in my 74 Euro Pantera. My rear wheel bearings had become suspect and since that requires disassembling the rear carriers I decided to switch to CV axles at the same time. My hunch about the wheel bearings being bad was accurate. It turned out they are original and upon removal some of them actually rattled when shaken. The carriers are now reassembled with new double row bearings along with CV adapters and new wheel studs. Switching to full CV axles also requires removal of the ZF from the car and removal of the ZF side covers from the transaxle in order to install the CV output shafts. This conversion is not a minor undertaking. Hopefully the new bearings will eliminate some noises and the CV axles will provide smoother operations. Here is a photo of the new axles and adapters.
