Re: Replacing Axles & Bearings as a Whole WAS: Scirocco T-shirts

My Question:  Is it just that much easier to replace the axle with CVs
installed or better to 'roll my own'?  


Replace the whole thing and be done with it. The axle I put in was like,
$59 bucks with a lifetime guarantee. Torn boot? New axle. Why bother
rebuilding? Sometimes the joint costs more than a whole new axle!
