I replaced Phil's passenger CV axle wasn't too bad... had to beat it out (not off)

 

yeah, the c-clip in the splines is fun times. I was referring to breaking down the CV.

I think a lot of car companies could speed up time if they set their front axles up like how Subaru has theirs....being the axle inboard side is a female end with a spring pin as a lock....zero trans fluid mess.

 

I personally hate changing out boots, and will always opt to change the entire axle instead.

 

how much is an oem axle going for? might just replace mine and rebuild the old ones later.

 

looks like Napa started selling them, $60-125 with a $55 core.

last I checked, OEM was around $300+ each

 

Think Phil got his at some random place on mapunapuna. Some hole in the wall

 

Does anyone know of somewhere or someone that can weld on these SOS plates out here?

THANKS

 

Wow. That's a lot of chopping that it needs the smaller plate.

 

I'm not sayin it would have to be that deep, I just don't like the face of the the cab mount to be open after its cut back.

 

i got a portable mig welder, but not much for cutting/grinding tools

 

I've done quite a few CMCs I could probably hook you up

 

Since u have it. Use it. More tire clearance and its not gonna hurt anything.

 

Do ya got any pictures? and do you have a welder ?

 

Here's the problem: I have a 2007 Honda Civic Si and the AC just crapped out. Can anyone here help troubleshoot/fix my AC or does anyone know of any shops that are decent? I need some help because if it doesn't get fixed my wife is going to steal my Tacoma and drive that everyday.

 

I seen one of his CMC and it looks like any CMC pictures on TW. After you spray it black they all look the same.

 

Ok, got that out of the way.

Have you tried the shop on Cane st. toward the police station, if it's still there. I've heard they are pretty good and price wasn't that bad.

 

Thanks, I'll look them up. A shop close to my house is a plus.

 

I can take a look at it if you like or easy fix open window stay cold now. Lol

 

Lmfao! That's what we were doing. Only one problem..was raining. I'll try sschedule something with your shop one of these days. Thanks
