Is it possible for a CV joint to slip out of the carrier without breaking? Mine is supported by just the boot right now, and I'm starting a new job tomorrow at 6am.
I need to know so I'll know exactly what I'm in for when I go to get my car tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thanks! |

If you are really going to get it done tonight in the cold, you are going to freeze your ass off. This will take a while and at least one part.
The one part would be the circlip that retains the CV joint to the axle shaft. You had better hope that it is only the circlip once you get that far. Otherwise a complete axle with an outer stub axle would be almost as easy to swap in there. If it was me, I would pay to tow the car someplace warm. I hate freezing to death. Knuckle busters in the cold really hurt. I would unbolt the inner cv joint, try inspect the axle shaft to make sure there is still a snap ring groove, reinstall a snap ring and look for either the original snap ring or the pieces of a broken snap ring prior to reassembly. In any event, you will need a portable light source and tools. If all else fails: Have your girlfriend drive you to your new job in the morning. |
