I finally got around to putting the driveshafts back in.
Gee, I don't find it all that difficult.
It wasn't "difficult", just unpleasant.
Yes, there's a lot of it and it should be black from the molybdenum disulfide in it. I hope you didn't pack the boots FULL, or the boots may break, make a mess, and you'll get to do this all over again.
But the biggest nightmare was putting them in. Trying to line up the first bolt with the hole ...
Yes, it's a bit trying getting the first bolt started in each flange, but then I just go ahead and install all of them hand tight, and then get a friend to sit in the car and depress the brake pedal while I torque them. That way you can torque, release, rotate, repeat....
Also yesterday, I realised (with the help of a friend who turned up unexpectedly) that my engine is only running on three cylinders. So I've got something to do next weekend after all...
That's odd. Do you think it's been this way all along?
