[s-cars] Inner CV Joint R&R?

[Mark Pollan]

G'day:

 

I have both of my front halfshafts out to replace the leaky output flange
seals.  I plan on cleaning, re-packing and replacing the outer boots while
the shafts are in hand.  The grease in the inner joints is kinda "crusty" so
I am probably going to R&R those joints/boots as well.  R&Ring the outers
has been pretty well documented but I cannot scare anything up on the
inners.  Anybody have a write-up and/or can offer some guidance?  I am
thinking to slip the inner boot off while the outer joint is off rather than
also removing the inner joint.  Do you think I will be able to sufficiently
clean/dry the inner joint with it on the shaft?  Any secrets to installing
the flange seals while I am asking a bazillion questions?

 

Regards,

 

Mark
