I have the new one sitting in place now after much pain the ass!
I still have the hub hanging on by the control arm and tie rod but I can't bend the new cv enough to place it into the hub. I am trying to get the control-arm to ball-joint bolts off the hub but they won't freakin' budge! I tried impact wrench, air wrench, regular wrench all with no luck! The tie rod I guess is my only other option to take loose so I can move the hub enough to get the cv in place and slide back in.
Anyone have any thoughts?
*The CV's were my problem all along, the drivers side CV inner boot didn't even have a clamp on it and just flopped around with a touch of a hand, and every single mechanic I took it to just failed to notice that. The passenger side CV had way to much freeplay and was knocking, and now its worn. Grease everywhere under the engine bay. I spent the day cleaning
