I imagine this question has been asked before and I tried to use the search function but probably did not use a “key” word that would bring up the answer….
I am going to pull the engine and transaxle out of the car in preparation for bodywork and paint. In the past I have left the CV’s in the trailing arms and wire them up so they don’t flop around but they still do and it is a pain to manage this….
This time I was wondering if it is OK to pull the entire CV assembly out of the trailing arm so the car is easier to roll around?
Will this do any damage to the bearings in the trailing arms? Just wondering what others have done?
