CV Boot 80q

[edkellock at juno.com]

Javad,  I'm still not clear on how you do this without removing the
shaft.  Would you be more specific?  Seems that just running the bolt
back in would just reassemble the thing.  Do you have to put something
down in there like a socket or something to cause the bolt to actually
push the axle out of the CV?  Is there enough clearance to withdraw the
shaft from the CV with everything in place?  Or is there something else
that needs to be disassembled to gain more clearance?  Is this on-car
procedure specific to the 80/90 models only?

Thanks,
Ed
