Who makes decent CV’s

 

No I didn't go up there. Lots more exploring for me to do out there.

 

My buddy got some done last year and was real happy... I'll ask

 

Sweet let me know, i ordered Those gears and a front locker, I’m going to be pushing mine hard on 35’s

He get junkyard cores for $25 each and shipped them in to the guy, and then the service was good enough that he sent his originals in after.

 

Off to find OEM CV’s....

 

We picked up those ones for $25 each off a sequoia at the b&r in graham

 

Speaking of CVs. Anyone have that fancy Dorman CV boot replacement tool? I’m going to replace my own boots.

 

Did a little shooting this weekend. Great weather for it.

 

Did you try crawl control?

 

I replaced two OEM boots and got two different tools for crimping the silly metal band that holds the boot tight to axle shaft. I will take a pic tomorrow sometime.

 

I just tossed one.

I'm pretty sure Terry never charged for a core in the first place.

 

Lotta mosquitoes?

 

@Greddy
Ive got these ones that do the ear style clamps just fine. Well for the soft and medium force clamps.

Nope, no mosquitoes or flies that bothered us. It was mid day though, it may be worse in the evening. There were quite a few bees buzzing everywhere, but none bothered us.

 

I’m mainly looking for this demonic-sex-toy-of-a-tool that stretches the boot over the axle so I don’t have to take the axle apart. I figured it would be easy with the right tools. Might buy it and return it from Amazon.

Thanks Nick! I will have to borrow that tool for the clamps. I’m looking for the boot stretcher tool.

 

yep I'm doing these specifically pretty soon:

That thing looks...interesting lol.

But if you are taking the CV out anyways doesnt seem like it would really save any time. Especially with the Toyota reboot kit. Removing the CV shaft and cutting the inner boot and the whole thing (moire or less) falls apart to slide the boots on (after cleaning). its pretty much...remove CV axle, cut inner boot, pull "tripod" out of the inner stub, remove C Clip holding tripod to shaft, remove tripod, remove outter CV boot, clean, enjoy grease everywhere, clean up grease that got everywhere, slide new outer boot on, slide new inner boot on, put tripod on, clip on, grease everything, install boots.

You could leave the inner stub in the diff to not have ot drain the front diff too. Just makes it a little more annoying to install the new boot/clamp (but not to bad)
