Based on the knowledge I got from previous postings, I'm planning a weekend project to replace the right axle cv joint boots, inner and outer.
I know the outer cv joint is not difficult to remove. But to remove the inner joint, based on Bentley manual, one needs a set of special tools and a machine "press", just to remove/install the cv joint and install the circlip.
Has anyone done this job without a "machine press"? How realistic is this undertaking? I've purchased a whole set of tools, the ratchets, 12-points, etc, hoping to earn the tools by doing by myself. If I have to hire a machine shop to remove and install the single circlip, I better let my shop to do it all.
Would anyone minds sharing a few tricks for the job?
thanks a lot. Ben
