CV joint replacement advice

[EGQ]

That's weird. I can't get the video to play in either IE or Firefox.

That is odd -- they are a pretty good collection of videos that take you through step-by-step.

If you have a basic mechanical knowledge base, you should be alright...just remember, if you get mad.....WALK AWAY.

So, what you're saying is don't get out the body saw and the cutting torch?

Depends what kind of mods you were looking for.

Boy - as long as I was digging around on the CV joints, I'd take the time to do some needed maintenance.

Don't forget to replace the Khuneutson Valve. Should be occasionally replaced on engines with camshafts, especially if you see a reduced bore on your engine block.

Take a look at the Johnson Rod - it may need some service. In colder climates it has a tendancy to contract quite a bit, which may lead to failure.

Replace the Blinker Fluid. Most drivers overlook the blinker fluid.

You might also want to take a peek at the Muffler Bearings - they sometimes need to be greased and/or replaced.

Kale Co Auto has just about everything you need

Good luck!

-Don't need it! I've upgraded from a camshaft and khuneutson valve to a flux capacitor driving an explosive space modulator unit. Made by Marvin and Brown.

-My truck has a Johnson Rod, but this is my wife's car. Her's has the Johnson "bore".

Replace the Blinker Fluid. Most drivers overlook the blinker fluid.

-I have a tendancy to scrape my knuckles when working on cars, so there's never a lack of blinker fluid.

You might also want to take a peek at the Muffler Bearings - they sometimes need to be greased and/or replaced.

-It's still in pristine shape. We generally shy away from using the exhaust port. The Johnson Bore takes the brunt of the wear and tear.


Thanks for the advice!!!!!

Okay - now we know your ignorance is showing. You aren't much of a mechanic, are you???

-Don't need it! I've upgraded from a camshaft and khuneutson valve to a flux capacitor driving an explosive space modulator unit. Made by Marvin and Brown.

A "flux capacitor driving an explosive space modulator unit"??? Seriously? Anyone who's anyone knows you cannot get a flux capacitor to drive a space modulator unit. ...and add "explosive" to the space modulator? What - are your trying to be cute???

-My truck has a Johnson Rod, but this is my wife's car. Her's has the Johnson "bore".

Now you're just out and out contradicting yourself... If you have a car (wifes, in the case) that has the Johnson Bore - you will definitely need to look at the khuneutson valve. Particularly if "the Johnson Bore takes the brunt of the wear and tear".

-I have a tendancy to scrape my knuckles when working on cars, so there's never a lack of blinker fluid.

Is that where you think Blinker Fluid comes from? ...and I suppose you think baby's come from the stork too!!!!

-It's still in pristine shape. We generally shy away from using the exhaust port. The Johnson Bore takes the brunt of the wear and tear.

Muffler bearings in "pristine" shape??? Hardly - unless, of course, you use the KaleCoAuto brand of Spark Plugs and hollow spark plug wires.

It was just my PC. There's something wrong with the player add-in. Anyway, I watched it. Not too bad. His video showed a full drive shaft replacement. What about these rebuilt "half shaft" replacement parts? It's what is listed on the auto zone websites. I'll have to pick up a model specific manual to make sure I know what's up. Taking apart the shaft itself is probably more involved.

Silly me! "Halfshaft is just another term for the drive shaft from one side of the vehicle. It comes fully assembled and greased for $70. Should be easy as pie with the right tools.

It ain't worth the grief to break down a half shaft,but a rebuilt one
