Started the CV cleanup and lube prior to reassembly to the tranny. PO only had 1 Roll Pin per CV in place, no Special Washers or Gaskets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) The leaking seal was a blessing - - I didn't lose the axle going down the road!
I have another used axle with the roll pins still in place. Can (and how) I remove these and use them on my car? Is this only a replacement with a new part, part? Pelican has them cheap, but it's another week of being down to get them. Thanks As Always you guys. |

Bill...I would say that they can be reused as long as they were tight. As far as removing one.....big a$$ vice grips. You might check around locally for a shop that might have some new/used.....my $.02

I was missing one and just grabbed one out of my parts car. No problems with it after several thousand miles. They come out easy. I just carefully grabbed it with pliers..

If they were tight I'd have no issue reusing them.

I push them out with a pin punch. They tap right out and don't suffer damage from vise-grips that way.
