Need help in Bristol, VA!! Failing passenger CV

We are on our way to Moab (hopefully) and haven't yet made it out if VA yet We're in Bristol and going to try to make it to Nashville in about 4 hours. But I have a failing passenger CV!!! I've got the part and I'm pretty damn sure most all of the tools. We have a parking lot I can work on it in but could really use a second hand!! The gf's great at pushing the break or handing tools but clueless about the mechanics

 

Location?

 

Bump for some help. Come on tw

 

Bristol, VA.

Maybe a mod can move this to a region thread where it may get more attention in that area?

The TW equivalent of a mayday rape-whistle.

 

Haha! Thanks guys!! It's not 100% broken yet so we're on the road to Nashville and just passed the Tennessee border on 81 south

 

Did you put It up in the moab thread aswell?. See if there are guys leaving headed the same route that can pull over or meet up.

 

Show must go on

 

Thanks bob!!! And thanks @snowtank, posted there too

 

Good luck. You can always just stop get some gorilla tape. Then tape It up roll into moab and have all the help you need

 

Made it to Nashville on the dying CV... Luckily we'd planned a short "lay-over" here so I've got about 5 hours tomorrow to tear into and fix it.. Shouldn't be an issue.. Only thing is, I've got an ok size breaker bar but no cheater pipe to throw on it and earlier I could t break the hub but loose.. Hopefully a couple hours more getting hot and having some PB blaster on it has loosened some things up a bit

 

Haha.. Believe me, if it was just barely showing signs of failure I'd probably push it as long as possible.. But the clicking noises during hard turns make me think it won't last another 1000 miles

 

Oh Its failing that much!? Gotcha. Well hopefully someone has got a hold of you to help out

 

Nothing so far but now that I'm not in an autozone parking lot (made it to a friend of my gf's house) and I've got more time I think I'll be ok..

Just eating that one but off should be my only real issue and I think I've worked out in my head how to do it

 

Hope you get it fixed if I was close I would help.

 

Rent a slide hammer at advanced it will pop that old cv out like its nothin. Mine did anyways.

 

If it gets to be a bitch, I will.. But we're at this girls house but she's gonna for the weekend so we don't really have a ride.. Uber is t terrible but I wanna make as few or 0 trips to the store if I can

 

Ohhh I read that wrong. Thought you said you was staying in an advanced parking lot lol. Good luck with the fix and safe travels to Moab.

 

Luckily I noticed the problem earlier when we were next to an autozone so I made a couple trips in to buy parts and tools.. Hate spending money on crap duralast tools.. But when you're in a pinch
