Hi Guys,
I think I've been sniffing grease too long. Trying to torque the CV bolts to the stub axle. I have the axle assembly nice and tight in a vise (tried with a towel and without), but I can't keep it from turning before 31lbs is reached. Any tips/tricks from someone thinking more clearly? Thanks |

I torque them in the car.
You pretty much have to do it that way because it is very important that you check that torque regularly. "CV joint came loose" is one of the more common failures on these cars. |
