Just a quick note and thanks to DPJ for the
guide, had to replace my outer CV joint boot and it really helped! Getting the joint off the shaft required a hell of a lot of 'persuasion', hitting the inner race!
While trying to refit it to the car however we encounter issues, seems the inner joint had detached itself from the shaft. Great fun..... Took it all apart, cleaned and then became very frustrated with the 'chinese puzzle' of fitting it back together! I've just found this
guide which I thought might be useful for people doing the same - we're going to try it out tonight. Seems we hadn't realised the 'important part' in step 4 of the
guide!
