Done!! Lucked out again!! It takes patience and a firm but relaxed coaxing w/ proper allighnment "big to small" (thanks the Cap'n for teaching me that).. once it starts going and then gets stuck, get joiggy with it.. Then throw your clothes away, cv joint cleaning w/ reassembly and repacking cost includes a shop towel, t-shirt and shorts, doctor gloves help a little..
