DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Barely being able to squeeze under the T4R doesn't help. It's a combination of the Covid 19 lbs. I put on and it sitting super low stock

 

Just bring that thing to the 5 minute lube shack

 

I'm tempted to use the covered awning at the funeral home across the street after hours.

 

So, hypothetically... Lets say a fella blew all 4 of his cv boots over a year ago. There’s still some grease in the actual joints, but it’s sorta grimy. Would it be best to replace both shafts totally or would a good tear down, clean, and regrease/boot replacement be enough? Here’s why I ask this “hypothetical” question. I’d typically recommend replacing anything worn out, but these don’t look chewed up, and I’m leery of cheap CV’s that might break easier. Thoughts?

 

Ramps are awesome for that.

 

It’s hard to fit a large pizza in my apartment, let alone more tools

 

Ah yeah that does present an issue. I never had an apartment without a garage.

 

OEM CV’s are better than parts store, yes. If yours aren’t worn out, just do the grease/cover/go.

 

Might as well try. It’s better than the sun.

 

Pump with a hose is much easier than trying to get a spout into the diff hole.

 

I don't think their tenants would mind

 

Funnel with a hose is better. Pumping 1 oz at a time 96 times is dumb.
Last night I pumped 96 times, today I got smarter

 

Are we talking front or rear? I don't know how you'd get a funnel in a position to use it up front.

 

A longer hose. With a 4 ft hose you could do it in one go, like a beer bong

I'll let you know how it works, fronts are next

 

As much as you seem to do this, you might just need a small electric pump. The ones we had at my old shop were pretty cheap.

 

This is the second time I've put gear oil in, I plan on ignoring it again for a long time after I swap the fronts

 

Did you get that funnel on Wish?

 

Got one for $50 at academy

 

I should have, I paid more than that

 

Yup, that’s what I’m planning on.
