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) |

I've got two sets on the shelf. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Thanks Roger. I just used the stock bolts. Dr. Evil's bolts are great peace of mind, but not mandatory, IMHO. New bolts and new washers keep 'em in line. When you start reusing bolts and washers is when you get a problem. Oh, and fresh gaskets are a must as well.
I'm done now, and it's back on the road. I also swapped in the 19 mm sway bar while the car was in the shop. |
