No not that kind of joint, and not even the kind from the butcher. I am talking about CV joints in the Team Cruiser. I spent a lovely weekend in the carport with the rain replacing the CV joints, swivel hub rebuilds and replacing the wheel bearings. Added to this new shockies, full service etc etc.

What a great clean job! There are three reasons for my post:

1. To glot that I got it all back together and it even drive it now without the tick tick tick.
2. I used the OilSafe prize products that we had in the OilSafe comp a month or so ago. I must say that I am now going to contact OilSafe to get some more of these excellent products. The hand pump made the diff and gearbox oil fills clean and under 2 mins. I used to sit with an oil pump and load the pump and pump it in - never again. For whatever it costs I will be getting some more containers and pump units so that I can have one for diff & gearbox, one for LSD diff and another couple for sump oils. These products are very good quality. BTW: This is NOT A PAID COMMENT, I was given the products (thanks OilSafe) however I am not being paid to write this - I was just very impressed with the gear.
3. To tell you all that I am not only a computer nerd, I do like getting my hands, clothes, carport floor and everything else dirty, this dirtyness was not due to the Oil Safe gear it was the lovely runny grey moly grease that is meant to be in the swivel hubs.

Q. How many inner oil seals did I destroy trying to get them to go in straight? For those that have undertaken this job you will know what I mean. When someone posts the correct answer I will tell you of the rest of the funny story of Saturday afternoon.
