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?

I did the driver's side today. I only needed to remove the shock, just like the passenger side. A little bit more fiddling on this side. Being able to slide the inboard CV joint towards the middle of the axle on the free-floating axle made a big difference in the clearance.

Thanks again for all the suggestions
