Replying to: undergroundr32 (Dec 27, 2007 9:15 pm) When I learned that the outer CV Joint/boot was "unservicable" I called around for a new inner CV joint/boot kit (because it would have to be removed to repair the outer boot). No-one had it in stock and the wife needed the car the next day. I bought a whole new axle instead of repairing the two boots, and I was very happy to see that it came with a bearing and retianer! I now could beat on the old bearing retainer to get the old axle out - and that's what I did. THe new one went in pretty easy. This thread was a big help - a lot more than my Haynes!.
