I have a few more questions about the CV's since that is the mode I am in right now.
In the Lame manual, err I mean Haynes manual
it says to mark everything with paint before you take it apart so you can put everything back the same way it came off. That makes good sense, but how do you guys mark the stuff? I cleaned the grease off the top and used enamel and let it dry and as soon as I started cleaning them in gas it was gone. Another thing, it says nothing about and my Dad jumped my a$$ about when he saw what I was doing. He says you have to get each bearing back in the exact same spot it was in. That makes some sense also if they are wore to that area, but if they are that wore I would think they are useless anyway?
The haynes also says that once you remove the circlip that you just use your thumbs to push the half shaft out of the CV. Uh, yea right! Mine are like welded on it seems. There is no way! A gear puller might get it off. Has yours all came off easy?
For future preventive maintenance, how often would you recommend dropping the axles and re-packing them? Seems like it should be done before they start making noise.
There was something else I don't remember right now I think, if I do I will post under this.
Ok, I remembered.
I got Valvoline Semi-synthetic moly based grease. Is there anything you would recommend over this?
Thanks!
