Re: C.V Shaft Question

["Brian Wagner" <scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com>]

IMHO - The easiest way is to remove the 17mm bolt that holds the ball joint
in and seperate the control arm from the spindle. I do this everytime on
both sides it works great. Time it some time you'll like it. I can replace
both shafts in under 30 minutes.
