    That's the most colorful axle I have ever seen! I've replaced lots of axles in FWD cars but I have never seen a red CV boot before. Never knew they had in colors other than black or gray.

    How’s that working out for you so far? Was it a call-to-order sort of deal?

    I really need to replace mine but the crown nut under the lower ball joint is rusted to all hell.

    Got me a new tire for the spare. Although I've never had to use it before (knock on wood) I figured I should get a new tire for it.

    Was going to buy a used tire on ebay for $105 shipped, no need for a new tire. I hate Walmart but they had the same exact tire for $105 + tax so I went & got it, got it mounted somewhere else though. I got tired of looking at my crusty old spare & I feel much better now. :rofl:

    1. I got the washers off the sleeves by grinding the crimp and hammering with a ball joint fork. Then i torched and pressed out the sleeves. Then i melted and scraped off the rubber off the sleeve. Then i took a abrasive wheel and cleaned them up. Now i have to grind down the crimp so the washer will fit up at the end of the sleeve. The end of the sleeve is flared out, thin and very sharp. Once i get these ready ill lube em up with grease and press in the ES bushings. I have some Superlube on order from Amazon so ill have to work on something else for now. I have everything taken out up front. Does anyone know of a COTS grease i can use on the bushing? Does anyone know if the washer just sits ant the end of the sleeve or does it need to be attached (welded)?

    This is why I stopped the grinding method, I feared it wouldn't pop back on. The ball joint press method saves all the metal and pressed back on.

    NM, I'm an idiot, should've know. I just chopped mine off after the very first time going to the desert. Looks better like that.

    Completely agree. If I were him I’d just purchase a new ECU. Too many things can go wrong.
