[urq] half shaft svc.

Peel back the boot to expose the C.V. joint.  From there, you can access the
retaining clip on the inside/or outside of the C.V. joint depending on
whether it's the inner or outer C.V.. Using a retaining clip pliers...(I
think that's the name for them...), hold open the clip while lightly tapping
on the joint untill it slides off.  With the joint off, from there you can
slide on the new boot.
    Install in the reverse order...
Good luck,
Justin
(I do have some old CV bolts if you want them...otherwise Blaufergnugen
sells the boot kit, with hardware for like $25-30...)

What is the recommended procedure when servicing the half shafts & replacing
boots?  How is the shaft disassembled?  Does anyone have any spare halfshaft
bolts (10mm 12pt star bolts)??
