I guess the subject says it all. I've got grease and new boots. Any special places I should look for wear? Are there specs I should check?
As much as I curse the previous owner sometimes, he did something nice. Hex socket bolts in the CV joings. Woohoo... no more triple square socket! -Rusty |

Hi There,
Couple of things: 1) Be ready for one of the nastiest, messiest jobs in your life. (Way worse than a baby with the flu, and I've cleaed up after both.) 2) Allen bolts are not "better" than triple-square bolts. If it were me, I'd put the right bolts back in. Unless you really like cleaning axles out of transmission housings... I used 'Castrol Super Clean' followed by brake cleaner to clean the joints. Worked pretty well. Put a big cotter under the boot-lip at the axle. It allows the joint to breathe. Other than that, it's pretty straight-forward. Gary. PS: I have tons of parts left over from when I did mine. Let me know if you break anything. |
