I damaged the boot while installing my clutch, so there is no contamination in the joint. I've looked in the service manual, it dosen't mention the CV axles, or I'm not looking in the right place :P How do I take this apart? Matt Smith >>> Matt, Any idea when the last time the CV joints were cleaned and packed? Now's a good time to do it - you don't want to have to replace them if they break!! You have to remove the axle from the car (take all the bolts off of the yokes on the ends). Then you can pop the cap off of the end of the axle and I think there is a snap ring in there. Actually just check the tech articles section of DMC News.com where Dave Swingle made a great write-up on the procedure (Constant Velocity Joint Service). That will tell you everything you need to know. Marty Maier used to sell a great CV boot/grease kit - I would recommend that one if you want to do them all while you are at. Takes about an hour per axle and is really messy!
