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? |

Did the passenger side today. I removed the shock absorber and the throttle bell crank & linkage. This gave me sufficient access. The screwdriver trick to guide the stub axle into place in the hub was golden!
 Hopefully the driver side will be as easy. |
