Re: outer cv

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

May I reccomend a brass hammer?  I have come accross way too many CV joints
that have had the heck beat out of them causing premature failure.  I always
use a brass hammer, then you can hit it rather hard without causing any
problems and then use it to tap the CV joint back on since a brass hammer
won't mushroom the threaded shaft!!!  HTH!
