A few questions about CV joints:
1) Does anyone sell CV joint parts or components? In other words, if I took the joint apart and the joint was generally good but needed a new ball or maybe a new inner race, are these parts available separately? I ask because I know OEM ones are NLA. 2) Is it possible to remove the half shafts/CVs with the transmission still in the car? Said differently, do people service and replace the CVs with the transmission installed, or do you have to remove the transmission to get the half-shafts out? Thanks! Rich |

1 - parts are not available separately and parts are not generally mix & match (MAYBE if the part numbers are identical).
2 - you can remove the entire half shaft with the tranny in the car. You can also use Beetle CVs, but holes must be machined for the pins. Stu |
