Finished up the axles tonight. Previously had a set of axles powdercoated. I disassembled, cleaned, and repacked the CVs and reinstalled with new boots and clamps.
Took some pictures and then wrapped up the CVs to avoid spreading any more CV grease - messy stuff to say the least; went through a lot of paper towels and disposable gloves. Attached thumbnail(s)

There's no engine or tranny, so the car is sitting quite high. This at least partially explains the positive camber. |

Where do you get those clamps and do you need a "single purpose" tool to install them? Kev |

Where do you get those clamps and do you need a "single purpose" tool to install them? Kev I got the clamps at McMaster Carr, here's the page, the clamps I got say "34.6" and they fit well, although I can't remember the part number that translates to McMaster Carr (I got the "gap free pinch with tongue and groove"). You'd have to measure to be sure. Or you can just PM me your address and I'll send some. I've got leftovers and I hope not to do this job again soon. There is a special tool. Google "CV joint pliers" and you'll see it. However, I just used a Channel Lock cutting plier and it worked fine. It looks just like the tool that McMaster Carr advertises for installing these. - Bryan |
