Got the half-price special and a couple of boot kits on the way...looking forward to a dry day...64ft/lbs to torque the bolts, blue loktite and no gasket between the CV joint and the tranny or wheel flange.

On an issue I smelled while under the right side...gas. I opened up the fuel filter/accumulator panel and see some gas residue on the outside of the accumulator. I also have been having a little warm start issue...now I know the cause?? A degraded/bad accumulator will cause a warm start issue right? SO buy a used one as they are not repairable...is this correct?

Thanks,
Jon
