[s-cars] Front Halfshaft Flange Seal R&R

[Mark Pollan]

G'day:

 

I need to do my right side flange seal as it is weeping pretty badly.  I am
going to probably do the left side as well while things are in the air and I
am dirty.  I am also considering replacing the outer CVJ boots as they are
original with 92K miles on them and well I'll be dirty.  I have hub bearings
and.I'll be dirty.  My main question is on the inner joint.  When I pulled
the halfshafts on my departed 5KCSTQ, I did not replace the paper gasket
that sits between the flange and the CVJ with no adverse effect.  What say
ye on the urS6?

 

Also, I have water in the passenger footwell.  Not much but.Sunroof drains
are clear as well as the plenum drain.  Evaporator drain?  How do I clean
that bugger?

 

Regards,

 

Mark
