reinstalling my engine and am about to reconnect the axle to the tranny. got new seals and dr evil bolts and as usual a few questions.
should i clean out the old grease and put in new and if so how much and are there any tricks to conecting it to the tranny, it seems pretty straight forward and that scares me a little and last what is the torque? |

RIch DUCT TAPE? what, did I spell it wrong??? Duct tape is good for pretty much any structural and stressful load that I have ever used it for. Red Green uses it like a welder and it seems to work frine for those projects, why not for CV joints... I think the bolts are overrated anyways. Rich |
