[V8] Greasy

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Every time I had to "fix" a CV boot on a V8, I just threw in a spare  
used axle...Problem with that method, is eventually the spare axles  
are all torn.....Soooo, I spent the last 4-5 hrs dissasembling/ 
cleaning 2 axles.....got 1 completely greased/rebooted, other cleaned  
and ready for the boot kit that is supposed to arrive in the  
morning.  This was my first experience with V8 CV's, and I couldn't  
believe how nice and unworn a 200K CV was....It's been years since I  
took apart a CV as I'd opt for a rebuilt/new axle if it was  
affordable as I'd consider it one of the crappier mechanical things  
one can do....I'm going to get a 2" longer bolt to pull the outer  
joint and it will be a piece of cake doing the others....It was good,  
as I'm going to be rebooting a bunch here, and when I come up with a  
"hassle factor" number, might have a few extra sets to sell.  REALLY  
need to get a parts cleaner/build some kind of "station" as it was  
just a f@#$ mess....I accidently backed into a quart paint bucket  
full of nasty reused kerosene in the backyard and it filled my new  
work shoes.....Yeah....Sincerely, Tom
