I recently had all 4 CV boots replaced at Sydney Drive Shaft in Carlton NSW. CV joints were inspected and re-greased. They charged me $140 cash. I did the labour of removing them from the car and taking them to the workshop. They were done in just over an hour. For that kind of money I wouldn't bother changing the boots myself anymore. The only hassle I had was getting the CV shaft locknut off on the passenger side. I broke 2, half inch breaker bars [ irony ] and ended up borrowing a snap on high torque rattle .gun

i've just done the same and ordered the whole front set, problem is i cant get the drivers side front inner section out/off the transfer case...... i've undone the plate with the 5 bolts but it still wont release............. ive got the shaft out but i need the inner where the boot connects too.

passengers side was easy LOL :(

The drivers side just clips in, lever it out with a flat blade or similar, or tap it out with a Nylon hammer. Make sure you do the bolts up on the diff first, you don't want that coming apart.

Ah, I understand what you were talking about now; that's the bearing carrier.

I found using a tyre lever with a 90 degree tip is the perfect tool for removing the drivers side CV from the diff. I found it a little easier than the wide blade screw driver with adjustable spanner on the end of it.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
