On my -6 GT project I decided to leave the CV/axle installation until after the engine was installed. I figured there has to be a way to change out the CV/axle assembly with the engine in the car.
This afternoon, I went to install them with the stub axle installed on the CV. It was not clear that they would fit. It seemed like I might need to remove the heat exchanger and/or the shock absorber. Any tricks to this? Do I need to install the stub axles before the CV/axle assembly? I can't imagine that I need to remove the engine to install the CV/axles. How is this done? |

Bolts out of lower shocks with some way to both lower and raise the control arms. With your large CVs you can use a phillips screw driver to guide the stub axle into the hub. There's a recess in the tip of the stub...stick the driver in there from the wheel side. I'm not sure you can get away with the HE's in place on a six. Maybe lower the trans end a bit. Don't forget the ground wire. Have some extra CV gaskets on hand. Brake hoses are not a problem |
