I only checked the inner CVs while I was installing Mechatech boots. I didn't touch the outers.
You can search the threads for the CV boot install or I've attached the process from that thread here in pdf in case you want to save it or print it.
I get a loud clicking sound while decelerating. Typical CV symptoms. If it gets worse while turning then it would more likely by the outers. It hasn't gotten so bad that you can feel it but you can certainly hear it.

Nice pdf file. Thanks. I have to replace my inner oil seal that is either on the cv side or differintial side of the diff brakets. I have yet to do this repair becuase I filled the differentail with new royal purple and the leaking problem I was haing stopped. But now I have a grinding sound.
Check out this thread.

Those are my toroubles. I just do not know how to go about it. Weather I can reach it this way or do I have to dropp the diff. ON4x4wire.com they said it was easier than stated here.

I haven't gotten in to it that far either. I only took it as far as diassembling the inner CV so the shaft that entered the diff wasn't removed. Sorry I can't be more help.
I've decided that when my used axles arrive, I will take it to a front end shop for the install. Maybe they'll be nice and let me watch/take pictures. I'll ask.

I wonder how much that repair will be. ON that thread I listed I think someone mentioned near $400 for a similar repair. Also didnt you mention in another post that the $100 you saved doing this would cover the install? I would try to call around and get an estimate first. Or see if there is another VX'er in the area that would like to help you out.

Hi, I'm Tom. I'm the king of procrastinators. If I don't pay someone to do it as soon as the axles arrive it'll be Christmas before I get started. Honesty sucks but I couldn't think of any other excuses quick enough.
Yes, this will be pricey. I'm thinking it will total out at $600-700 but I will end up with a set of rebuilt axles sitting on my shelf for when I (or you) need them.

I got the used axles. Now I don't need them.
The place I was hoping would install them did some research and said they didn't want the job - too involved. The sent me to another place.
The other place doesn't want to do the job either if they have to remove the housing from the inner joint (can't blame them). They will however remanufacture the CVs if they don't have to do any major work to the housings (yeah!!!). I ordered the Mecateks today so maybe will be driving her again this weekend - maybe even tow the SeaDoo to the lake with it.
Anyone want some used axles? I'll probably clean them up & install mecateks before I put them away. PM me if you need them.
