nissan cv joints

hi Timbo2
The c.v. joint is quite an involved job but if your handy with a spanner...... no probs.
The job is quite involved and not something i would undertake to describe in this reply. I think if you dont have a manual now is the time to get hold of one. There are quite a few adjustments to be made when re-assembling all the components and if your in there you may as well do swivel bearings and the like.
This does sound more a hub problem than a c.v. as c.v's dont generally lose drive apart the most extreme cases. Yes they get noisy as all gedout but rarely lose drive.Get a manual, do both sides
change the diff oil when finished and look for any metal particles in diff oil
(c.v's dont generally lose drive)Unless of course it has had a cataclysmic (??) failure (that is rooly rooly big fanglin failure)

thanks for that, it gave way,on a steep rock ledge..by the sound of it i will let a mechanic do it.
