So my CV joint have been sitting around for about 2 years uncovered. I new I was going to have to regrease the end that connects to the transmission. I recently pulled the CV joint apart, and cleaned it.
I then pulled the axle part that connects to the wheel, and I had this thought... "Why can't I bolt this (the part of the drive shaft that bolts to the hub) on the car, and regrease the CV joints, and just cover the CV joints and put the axle on the shelf"? This would do two things, I could remount the tires and have a roller, while not have the axles flop around until I am ready to put the trans and engine back in. Sooo is this ok? Seems ok to me, I would mark which one can off which axle so I could reinstall. |
