Lost north of Spokane:............I 'am replacing half shaft boots on CAV #99. It came with custom built axle retainers in case of a failure it won't take out the suspension. The openings were designed about a half inch too small and tore off the ends of the inner boots. It has the Porsche 930 up-graded axles. Photos found here show both ends of the shaft's cv joints flat where the 6 bolts go through. What was I thinking, it looked too easy. I took all the bolts out but the axle will not slide out of the outer cv. What do you have to remove to get to the axle retaining nut on the out-board end, as it is not visible. We have a Superformance Coupe and they are accessible just under the center dust cap of the knock-off. You can check the torque on them through this opening on this design. Also the stub axle that bolts onto the inner cv has a seal leaking where is comes out of the side of the gearbox. I was told by RBT to remove the "big nut" at the center of the flange and pull the stub axle out, then remove the housing to replace the seal as is pops into the inside of the housing. The big delima is there is "no" nut at the center of the stub axle, does the housing hold the axle "in"? It is the RBT ZF 5 speed series II................ Rich:worried:
