I figured I'd get my axles powdercoated along with all the other suspension pieces. After removing the circlips 3 out of 4 CV joints came off with just a little persuasion but the fourth required a 5 lb sledge, a drift, and a lot of effort. Does this sound unusual? Should I have the pieces checked by a professional (or in this case, Brad)?
thanks peeps! |

Next time slide the CV joint off the closest end of the shaft instead of sliding it all the way down the axle and off the other end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Just kidding. So were you really working on your car or are you just pulling our legs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Kidding again. Can't wait to see pictures of that monster all put together.
