For that you have to ask Nancy Crace from CNN she knows everything Crime related in Aruba .:D

Your answer is a www.914club.com

And a BFH is a 2 - 5 lb sledge hammer

CV joint (Constant Velocity)-- You will want to remove the castle nut from the end of the stub axle. This will require a large socket (I forget if it's 30mm, 32mm, or 36mm; I've had cars with each over the years) and a really beefy breaker bar and a loooooooong cheater pipe. It's installed with 250 lb-ft of torque and usually requires significantly more than that to remove. Have someone stand on the brakes or brace the rear hub really well while you or your heaviest friend stands on the cheater pipe... Don't forget to remove the cotter pin from the nut first!

Anyway, once the nut is off, you use your BFH to pound the stub axle out. You will need to disconnect the inboard end of the axle first, though. One reasonable way to pound out the stub is to put the nut back on backwards, so that the end of the nut is just even with the end of the axle. That will help keep your hammer from mashing the threads.

Once the stub axle is out of the hub (don't roll the car around without the stub in place!!) you can put it in a bench vise and separate the CV from the stub. After removing the bolts, of course.


Bumpers-- Unbolt the old ones, unbolt the supports, plug the big holes in the body where the mounts go. Grind off the lips that the bumper cover hooks to. There is one on each side of the front and rear bumper, plus one along the top of the front bumper, along where the front trunk seal goes. Drill four mounting holes for each bumper--there should already be reinforcements in the front fender wells and the rear trunk area for the mounting bolts. Paint any bare metal so it doesn't rust. Bolt the bumpers on.

Thank you Dave for the advise.
