Well, I fixed my blowed up CV today. WHAT A PITA JOB! I feel like I took a grease bath. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
Thanks to Andy for helping me disassemble, clean and put new joints on my spare axles. After he left, I spent the next 5 hours fighting everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) But now all I have to do in the morning is torque the bolts and I'm back! I also fixed my sticky brake caliper. The e-brake arm was sticking, so a little penetrating oil got it working again. Andy and I pushed my car across the parking lot, with the ebrake stuck on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) |

QUOTE The e-brake arm was sticking, so a little penetrating oil got it working again. That will ruin that seal (the one directly underneath the handbrake arm). The penetrating oil will swell the seal. Usually the reason the seals stick is because there's some rust in there. |
