Its replacing both drive shafts and associated seals and such.
I thought the initial problem was the CVJ's and I have two new ones of
these already available. These might not need replacing, but I need to
see a close-up of the wheels, to see for myself, as the CVJ's might need
replacing, at a guess.
Then it became apparent that the drive shafts themselves may need
replacing too, 'May' being the appropriate word.
Either way all the necessary bits (if it all goes to plan, and doesn't
go horribly wrong) will be available by the end of this week. They're
being delivered here, to my workplace (since I'm never at home...).
I anticipate there being delays, and my [realistic] worry is that these
"horribly wrong" things will be found out when the axle is already in
bits....
I'm extremely grateful to you Julian, thank you so much, and since you
have already worked on your front axle, and know what is involved, I was
thinking of asking you anyway - in fact I thought of this at the very
beginning when the CV query first became apparent, but I didn't know how
to phrase the question.... And it is times like this when I really do
appreciate you lot!
Its snowing here too (well, its a lame excuse for snow! because there
isn't much of the white stuff available for playing in, and anyway, it
melts so quickly).
Kindest regards
Renate

When the weather improves (it's snowing hard here and we already have
2") you are welcome to come up here one weekend and we can tackle it
together.
What exactly needs doing?
