Re: C.V Shaft Question

["Pat Fontaine" <piof_01@hotmail.com>]

I did both mine on my '87 8v, and haven't have to unbolt anything but the 
outer CV nut and the inner CV bolts. With these off, turn the wheel far 
right or far left, depending if driver or pass side, push the inner CV 
toward the engine and pull the outer carefully out of the hubs... Can be 
done in 15 minutes, not so much of a pita for me...
